About Me

I am a certified executive coach through The George Washington University's International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited e-Co Leadership Coaching Certification Program. I got into coaching after I myself had an executive coach. Through my career, I developed a passion for helping others. I am a public servant and I now use what has been taught to me, and my personal experiences, to coach others.

For my day job, I am the Senior Deputy Director and Chief Strategy Officer for the District of Columbia Department of Employment Services (DOES). As Senior Deputy Director, I oversee the Office of Youth Programs, Office of Labor Market Research and Performance, and Office of Training and Professional Development. Prior to this position, I was Deputy Chief of Staff for DOES, where I oversaw the Office of Legislative Affairs and helped to coordinate agency-wide events while also assisting our Director in preparation for meetings, coordination of strategic goals, and ensuring efficient and effective delivery of DOES programs and services.  Additionally, I regularly connect with constituents to ensure their needs are being met, lead organizational change, manage special projects, plan and coordinate events, and enhance internal efficiencies by leading process improvement initiatives. Previously, I worked in the Office of the City Administrator where I oversaw the Deputy Mayor for Education and the Deputy Mayor for Greater Economic Opportunity clusters. Prior to that, I worked as the Director of Operations in the Mayor’s Office of Talent and Appointments.

​

I am a Ward 7 resident of the District of Columbia. I earned my Master of Public Administration from American University, with a concentration in State and Local Government.  I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I grew up in North Carolina and love running, working out, and playing tennis.
