Hi, I’m Michelle
Life Strategist

I’m more interested in who you are than who you’ve learned to be.
“
I didn’t arrive here by accident.
For much of my life, I’ve been fascinated by human behavior—specifically, the choices people make. There is a beauty in choice.
My own path has been a winding road, shaped by curiosity, calculated risks and blind turns. But I’ve always been willing to ask myself some hard, uncomfortable questions.
Somewhere along the way I realized the question that interests me most isn’t “What should you do next?” It’s “What if you had more choices than you think?”
What Shaped My Approach
My work is shaped by years of studying people, navigating change, asking better questions—and living through a few calculated leaps of my own.
Psychology & Human Behavior
A foundation in Psychological & Brain Sciences and a lifelong curiosity about why we think, choose and change.
Strategy & Research
Graduate training in Clinical Research Management strengthened the part of me that looks for patterns, asks what the evidence is really saying—and thinks several moves ahead.
Coaching
Professional ICF coach certification gives me a framework for doing what matters most: creating space for people to hear themselves think.
Life Outside the Resume
Seven marathons taught me something no classroom could: transformation rarely happens in one heroic moment. It is built one intentional step at a time.
Let’s Work Together
You don’t need to have everything figured out. Sometimes the first step is simply an honest conversation.
