why i coach
Passionate About Inspiring Others
My personal mission is to help others feel inspired and find personal contentment. But why should you listen to me? Because I have spent most of my adult life studying and learning about people. In this pursuit, I have obtained a BA and an MA in Sociology at UNC-Wilmington and UNC-Greensboro, respectively, where I focused on small groups and interactions. I followed these degrees up by obtaining a second MA in Sociology from Vanderbilt University, where I focused on the Sociology of Culture. Listening to other people talk about their lives is what makes me tick. And once I realized that I could earn my living as a coach instead of a researcher, I knew that I wanted extra training. I have since become certified as a professional coach by a program created by the same man who created the Sylvan Learning program. I then said goodbye to academia and struck out to become a personal coach.
Passionate about Living a Debt-free Life
In my adult life, I accrued a lot of debt. That debt felt paralyzing and gave me a level of stress I had previously known. Determined to find financial freedom, I made some hard choices, some lifestyle sacrifices, and I committed to getting myself debt free. 5 years and ~$40,000 later, I achieved success! I began that climb out of debt when I was only making $9 an hour. The relief of living within my means is immense. I want that for everyone I meet. I hate debt with a fiery passion. If you struggle with making a budget, living within your means, or having a healthy relationship with money, let me help you rectify that. I've been there, and I've come out on the other side. You can do it, too.
Debt materializes in a number of ways. Traditionally we think of it in financial terms, but we can also feel indebted to others for a variety of reasons. Debt is bad in all of its manifestations.
Passionate about Helping YOU
We are all capable of great things. All of us. We just need the occasional nudge to do them. And quite honestly, we sometimes just need someone to be paying attention. I want to be that nudge. I want to be the person who is paying attention and helping you to achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I want to work with you, beside you, to make tomorrow a better version of today. Nobody wants to walk through life alone, and nobody should have to. Let me walk with you.
Don't wait any longer to seek help. Let me be the one to coach you to bigger and better things!
