I coach people and organizations who seek expert guidance and thought leadership in managing change, transforming culture, and designing a strategic plan.

Thirty years in education, research, and non-profit leadership has honed my knowledge and skills as a creative consultant who attentively listens and effectively nudges clients toward their goals.

I like to spend leisure time outside, paint landscapes in oil and travel with family and friends. I have three adult children and live  with my husband and dog near a beach in New Hampshire.

Debra has put together a beautiful coaching program that targets action and change in all of the best ways! I was so thankful to have the opportunity to work with her to help me navigate a difficult time in my life. Her education, compassion, and skill set are unmatched.
