I am passionate about helping women and girls achieve their potential. Throughout my professional life I’ve helped them stand up for themselves – to be seen, heard, and taken seriously. I’ve coached them to claim themselves – their talents, worth, and agency.
What do I mean by “agency?”
Agency is about being able to have an impact, be influential, and to fully claim your place in the world.
Agency is about discovering the ability to make things happen!
My work has taken various forms, including nearly fifteen years as a senior administrator at the oldest women’s college in the world and running leadership programs for women and girls.
I’ve also led workshops at the Weissman Center for Leadership at Mount Holyoke College; spoken at international conferences on women’s education; and lectured at national conferences on topics such as women’s styles of leadership and combating gender bias in the workplace.
