About Me
Navigating your career can be tricky. Even the most talented programmers, data engineers and other techies sometimes struggle to successfully advance their careers in a way that feels authentic while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
"I know where I want to take my career, but I don't know where to start." "I never have time to take care of myself anymore." "I feel exhausted." "I'm not sure what direction I want to focus my career in next." "Work stresses are affecting my health and personal relationships" "I'm overwhelmed".
If any of that sounds familiar and you're ready to put in the work required for change, you've come to the right place. We’ll work together every step of the way to create a clear vision of your goals and to define actionable steps to get there. Together we will explore the beliefs that are holding you back (we all have them), further cultivate your self awareness, and develop skills that will allow you to advance your career and inspire others, all while keeping your own sanity.
I haven't always been a coach. I started my career as a software engineer. Over 20+ years, I evolved my own career from individual contributor to Vice President of Engineering. I know first hand how challenging the career evolution journey can be. I also learned, the hard way, what happens when you focus exclusively on your career at the expense of your health and personal priorities. Encountering many people grappling with similar challenges motivated me to become a professional coach as a way to share my knowledge and support others.
I'd love to hear from you. What changes are you looking to make in your professional life? What are some of the challenges you are facing? How can I help you meet and overcome those challenges?

Mary was very helpful and helped me both with questions about my new administrative role and tools to improve efficiency and make the transition easier.
Danit
Mary is friendly, compassionate and is a good listener. She asks great clarifying questions which have helped me understand myself and my situation better. Mary has helped me clarify my goals and assisted me in setting achievable action steps which keep me moving forward. I love that she keeps detailed notes of each session so that I can go back and see my progress. A good coaching experience!

I love working with Mary! She is very skilled at "reading between the lines" and hearing what is underneath my blocks or challenges. Armed with that knowledge, Mary is magically able to laser in on helping me see what it will take to continue to plow forward. I love her coaching style, in that she is very fluid with my needs of the week -- sometimes I just need to dump it all out, other times I need the accountability or organization, and plenty of times I don't even know what I need! Regardless, Mary's support is always there and on-point. Thank you Mary for helping me grow, in business and in life!

I've really appreciated working with Mary these last couple of months. She makes connections very clearly and can guide or push you in areas where you're feeling stuck. It's been helpful to learn about how my strengths can compliment or compensate for areas where I struggle. Additionally, she has helped me through life and work transitions through her curiosity and great questions.
