I feel as though my coaching practice has been in the works for the last two decades... waiting patiently as I compiled my life experiences.

My passion for money management evolved from presenting over 600 educational programs to more than 15,000 people throughout the Pittsburgh, PA region as the Training Specialist for Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS).

I found that as I reached out to my audiences, with honesty and sincerity, people began to explore their personal financial situations. They started setting goals and realized their own financial power. In fact, it was a past attendee who came to me several years later to tell me what a lasting impression I made on her financial life and suggested that I take my passion another step further and become a life coach.

Some of the groups I presented to:

  • ABARTA - Shared Financial Services
  • Alcoa
  • CareerLink
  • Carnegie Mellon University
  • EAPA
  • Institute of Management Accountants
  • Mellon Bank

In addition to my financial experience, I am an experienced human resource manager and marketing specialist. I received my bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management from Geneva College and my coach certification from the Coach Training Alliance. My memberships include: the Pittsburgh Coaches Association, the International Coach Federation, and the National Speakers Association.

I have written a four-part series on identity theft for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and have given several radio and television interviews about wise money management, building good credit, and identity theft. Click on the links below to read the Identity Theft Series.
