I have an absolute passion for supporting people in becoming aware of and leveraging their core strengths, and then transforming their deep soul desires into reality.

Program Leader in TrainingI work with leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries – the people who want to make a difference in their lives, families, communities, and the world. My clients are passionate about their vision and so am I! I promise to say the bold things, ask you the big questions, be your biggest cheerleader and bring in some lightheartedness as I support you to reach your next level faster.
Here is a bit about me:
Born and raised in Bulgaria, I moved to Boulder, Colorado, as a teenager. There, I became an aerospace engineer and strengthened my love of mountain adventures. After ten successful years working in the aerospace industry, I left to find my calling and coaching is it. I feel so honored to get to walk alongside people on their journeys and support them to reach their dreams. When I am not working, I am most likely hiking, climbing, and skiing in the mountains around Seattle, my adopted hometown.
I am excited to meet you!
