From Breakthroughs to Results: Helping Leaders and Teams Turn Pressure Into Power
I feel my calling is to inspire both individuals and teams to dive deeper into their capabilities, unlocking strengths they never knew they had. My mission is simple yet powerful: to help people achieve peak performance in their lives and work—so they, in turn, can inspire and elevate those around them. Coaching isn’t just what I do; it’s who I am. Every breakthrough I witness fuels my passion to guide others toward their own transformation.
My journey reflects a deep commitment to personal growth, leadership, and team development. With a rich background in coaching and a passion for empowering others, I’ve had the privilege of working with leaders striving for clarity, teams seeking alignment, and organizations navigating complex challenges. This diverse experience allows me to help clients uncover hidden potential, break through mental barriers, and achieve lasting results — both individually and as cohesive, high-performing teams.
At Level Up Fusion Coaching, I combine evidence-based strategies with personalized coaching solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each leader and team I work with. Whether it’s building mental resilience, fostering stronger team dynamics, or unlocking new levels of performance, my approach is always about creating real, measurable impact. Together, we’ll transform potential into performance — one breakthrough at a time.
Our Mission: Igniting Unstoppable Growth in Leaders and Teams
At Level Up Fusion Coaching, our mission is to awaken the untapped potential within individuals and teams across business, sports, and life. We don’t just believe in transformation—we ignite it. Our coaching goes beyond goals; we fuel breakthroughs that turn pressure into power and challenges into catalysts for extraordinary growth.
We believe every experience, whether a victory or a setback, holds the key to greatness. By fostering both personal leadership and collective synergy, we create ripple effects that don’t just touch communities—they shape futures.
Our purpose is simple: to help people lead with purpose, live with passion, and leave a lasting legacy.
The Level Up Method: Transforming Potential Into Unstoppable Performance
Our Coaching Philosophy Isn’t Just About Growth — It’s About Breakthroughs That Stick.
Here’s How We Help You Lead, Thrive, and Succeed.
1 | Personalized Guidance
Your journey is one-of-a-kind, and your coaching should be too. We don’t do one-size-fits-all. We tailor every strategy to your unique strengths and challenges, unlocking growth that’s personal, powerful, and sustainable.
2 | Holistic Development
True success isn’t just professional — it’s personal. We help you create a life where your career thrives, relationships deepen, and you feel fulfilled from the inside out. It’s about balance, resilience, and thriving in every area of life.
3 | Empowerment Through Self-Discovery
Real power comes from within. Through deep self-discovery, we help you uncover hidden strengths, reframe limiting beliefs, and step into your full potential. You won’t just find clarity — you’ll create it.
4 | Self-Coaching Development
Imagine being your own greatest coach — confident, resilient, and ready to tackle any challenge. We equip you with the tools to lead yourself, so growth doesn’t stop when the session ends.
5 | Emphasis on Emotional Intelligence and Fitness
Your emotions are not obstacles — they’re superpowers. We’ll help you master emotional intelligence, so you lead with clarity, connect with authenticity, and inspire others through your presence.
6 | Commitment to Lifelong Learning
Growth doesn’t have an off switch. We instill a mindset of relentless learning and adaptability, so you’re always ahead of the curve—ready to evolve, innovate, and lead no matter what life throws your way.
This isn’t just coaching — it’s transformation.
With these principles, we don’t just help you hit your goals; we help you shatter limits, unlock breakthroughs,
and create success that lasts a lifetime.
Professional Background and Credentials
Decades of Leadership, Unstoppable Growth, and Proven Results
With over 25 years of diverse experience, I specialize in transforming individual performance and team dynamics. My journey as an Executive and Performance Coach is fueled by an unshakable passion for empowering people, unlocking potential, and driving results that matter. Inspired by my father’s leadership as a Mayor and my mother’s dedication as a Nursing Instructor, I learned early on the power of influence, purpose, and impact.
As the Founder and Executive & Mental Performance Coach at Level Up Fusion Coaching, I’m on a mission to help leaders, athletes, and high-performing teams break through barriers and achieve consistent excellence. My approach blends cutting-edge techniques with personalized strategies to create lasting change. Clients—from mid-level managers to C-suite executives and elite athletes — report:
▪ 40% increase in effectiveness and productivity
▪ 95% client retention rate (because breakthroughs aren’t temporary — they stick.)
In my role as a contract Executive and Performance Coach at CO2 Coaching, I collaborate with C-suite leaders during critical transitions, enhancing team alignment, onboarding processes, and operational performance. As an AI Subject Matter Expert, I integrate transformative AI technologies into coaching frameworks, accelerating leadership growth in today’s fast-evolving world.
Previously at Deloitte Consulting, I spearheaded initiatives to transform Fortune 500 companies, driving strategic change management, leadership development, and organizational efficiency. My strategies didn’t just improve processes—they elevated cultures and expanded profitability.
In leadership roles as CEO and COO, I didn’t just manage teams—I built high-performance ecosystems. By optimizing operations and executing bold strategies, I directly influenced revenue growth, client satisfaction, and team productivity in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
Beyond the boardroom, my passion for coaching young athletes has sharpened my ability to develop mental toughness, resilience, and teamwork—skills that apply just as powerfully in business as they do on the court.
