I had been privileged enough to attend Mount Holyoke College. During my four years on campus it was reinforced in my brain that my voice mattered. Even as an immigrant’s daughter. Even as a woman. Even being queer.
So when I hit the streets of New York City to start my professional journey, I naively expected a warm welcome to my perspective and contribution.
Instead, I spent the first 6 months out of college unemployed despite having two degrees.
I quickly realized that
the “real world”
wasn’t quite as idealistic as I had been.
A few mall jobs, a tutoring gig, and some other odd jobs later, I thought I finally landed that warm welcome I had been looking for.
I was offered a position at a company founded by a fellow Greek American woman. She amazed me. Here was someone I saw myself in, who came from a similar background.
I thought for sure she would be the one to help mold me into this next, new version of myself
But instead, I was met with someone still impacted by the culture of “there’s only room for one woman at the boy’s leadership table and that seat is taken.” I was spoken down to often, criticized in front of others. I was told my ideas were dumb but would then turn to find they were being used and credited as her own ideas.
Something dawned on me.
I realized that if what I wanted was to be heard, to be seen for what I had to offer, I couldn’t wait for an invitation. I needed to go out and be a demand to be heard.
In seeking how to make myself be known, I discovered the growing field of coaching and took on the finest and most rigorous coach & leadership training program through Accomplishment Coaching.
I am a Professional Certified Coach (International Coach Federation-credentialed) and an Accomplishment Coaching Certified Coach.
I hold degrees with high honors in Chemistry and English from Mount Holyoke College. In addition to my private practice, I serve the next generation of coaches and leaders as a Leader in Training of Accomplishment Coaching’s Coach & Leadership Training Program.
In my 7 years of business, I have coached 3,500+ hours and provided 1,800+ hours of leadership training. I am an International Speaker, having recently spoken at the world’s largest coaching conference in Prague about coaching millennial leadership.
AS SEEN IN
IN SHORT,
I really love this stuff.
When I’m somehow not talking about coaching or leadership, you can find me brewing beer, sneaking more plants into my office, eating delicious meals with my husband, crying over cute dogs on Instagram, or setting a few witchy intentions.
