This partnership exists to change that.

Founder | Neurodiversity-Inclusive Executive Coach | Leadership Strategist
As the founder of Prickly Pear Consulting, I coach exceptional and neurodivergent leaders—and the teams around them—to lead with clarity, emotional intelligence, and courage. My clients include forward-thinking organizations such as Apple, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Ecobat, GitLab, Christie’s, Wayfair, and Warner Music.
I bring deep expertise in 360 feedback, stakeholder interviews, and behavioral assessments, translating data into insightful, strengths-based coaching plans that accelerate growth. I’m known for helping individuals and high-performance teams rewire how they communicate, collaborate, and thrive—drawing on frameworks from positive psychology, energy leadership, and emotional connection training.
My approach is anchored in inclusive leadership and a core belief in leading with curiosity—whether I’m partnering with a high-potential leader in 1:1 coaching or guiding an executive team toward greater trust and cohesion.
