My Story

How I Got Started

My coaching journey began long before I ever called it a career. In my corporate leadership roles, colleagues would come to me during pivotal moments – seeking clarity, perspective, and a plan. Before long, one even started asking before key meetings, “What would Andrea do?”

That trust, paired with decades of experience leading global teams across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, lit a spark in me. I realized my greatest impact came from helping others step into their potential. So I pursued advanced coaching certifications and earned a master’s degree in organizational development and leadership, with a focus on unlocking human potential.

Coaching isn’t just what I do; it’s my calling. I’m committed to helping women step into their power, trust their voice, and lead lives that reflect who they truly are. My clients learn to release the pressure of comparison, break free from expectations, and define success on their own terms.

Whether you’re navigating a transition, stepping into leadership, or seeking clarity on your next chapter, I’m here to help you transform doubt into confidence and create lasting impact from a place of authenticity and purpose.

Andrea truly is a light leading the way to find my path in my early 20s. She continuously prompts me to tear down the walls I've built to limit myself. Because of her, I am a more confident young woman in my personal and professional relationships. I cannot recommend her services enough!
