Engineer, Executive Coach, and Strategic Career Partner for Women in STEM.

I’m the founder of Arctic Butterfly Coaching & Consulting, and I’ve spent my career solving complex problems and leading multidisciplinary teams across the globe. From keeping oil flowing through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline to navigating the realities of being a Black woman in senior leadership, I’ve learned what it takes to thrive in high-pressure, high-visibility roles—and how to do it without losing yourself.
What sets me apart? I bring both the rigor of engineering and the relatability of lived experience to my coaching.
I’ve felt the sting of being overlooked. I’ve been passed up for roles I was overqualified for. And I’ve carried the emotional labor of trying to thrive in systems that weren’t built for me. Through it all, I didn’t just survive—I built a new blueprint for success. One that prioritizes joy, boundaries, purpose, and visibility.
That’s what I help other high-achieving women in STEM create through:
The G.R.A.C.E. Leadership Framework
(Growth, Resilience, Action, Confidence, Empathy)
The Give-a-Damn Meter™
For boundary-setting without burnout
And my signature belief:
You don’t need permission or another degree to lead
​—you need strategy and support.
When I’m not coaching powerhouse women or planning my next Leadership Lab, I’m a proud girl mom, a fan of escape rooms, a lover of Alaskan landscapes, and a coffee enthusiast (yes, the Ember mug is essential).
I know what it means to navigate leadership as the only one in the room. I built Arctic Butterfly to make sure you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
