About Me

Let's get personal for a moment. Before becoming a mom, I had a career in PR/advertising and pharmaceutical sales. Then, in the last 20+ years, I have dabbled in entrepreneurship, with 4 small businesses from the Midwest to the East Coast, and I have volunteered enough hours every year to rival any full-time job to include Girl Scout Leader, PTA President, HOA President, school Board of Trustees, and, currently, college parent club President.

I have three children (two in college, one in high school), a wonderful husband of 20+ years, and a FOMO-suffering dog whom we, begrudgingly, adore. I have a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Penn State, but I never did become the next Oprah, as originally planned. Instead, I am an expert at asking the right questions, a compassionate listener, a producer of change and easy transitions, and a consummate organizer.

As a graduate of Coach Training Alliance and an ICF Certified Life Coach, I specialize in coaching teens, young adults and parents through whatever life may throw at them, specializing in the A to Z of the college years from just beginning the process to embarking on robust careers to navigating the choice to continue through to medical, dental, PT or graduate school. I am thankful for my Journalism degree as it has gifted me with the knowledge required to draw out the very best from the people I am blessed to work with, understanding how to get to the bottom of every mystery.

Being a teen or young adult is hard. Being the parent of either is also hard. With BYL, you don't have to do either alone. Together we will discover the tools for you to BE and DO whatever you want...in fact, YOUR MIND has the greatest impact on your overall success. So, let's tap into your mind together...and take you BEYOND YOUR LIMITS.
