Hi, I’m Sam!

As a millennial, I can truly empathize with the challenges of the modern workplace. Needing experience to get experience. Expectations of a job not meeting reality. Living up to an impossibly high standard of achievement.

There is nothing that makes me happier than when I can help someone navigate these challenges. Whether it’s helping someone pivot careers or supporting them to realize they actually are (likely more than) qualified to lead a team- I am your #1 fan!

I’ve been working independently as an International Coach Federation (ICF) certified coach for five years. In addition to my own business, I serve as a coach for General Assembly, a coding bootcamp, Boon Health, a leadership and life coaching company, and Springboard International, a consulting firm. Previously, I worked as a university career advisor at Johnson & Wales University.
