Founder of PeakMD
Career Consultant and Executive Coach for Women Physicians
As a physician leader, professor, teacher, and mentor, I understand the unique challenges women in medicine face. Early on in my career, I realized that I needed consistent and diverse mentorship and guidance and floundered. As a mid-career physician, a coach helped me transform my career trajectory, and I was able to transition into leadership positions. Throughout my career, I’ve successfully navigated academia, transitioned to health system leadership, and executive roles. I’ve learned how to build high functioning teams-these experiences that fuel my passion for coaching and mentoring women physicians.
Through one-on-one coaching and strategic career planning, I help women physicians:
Establish their career niche and develop a clear trajectory
Engage in résumé-building activities that open doors
Transition into leadership positions with confidence
Negotiate salaries and compensation packages effectively
Navigate the first 100 days in a new leadership role
Master difficult conversations and c-suite dynamics
My approach is practical, strategic, and deeply personalized. Together, we’ll create a roadmap that aligns with your goals and empowers you to lead with confidence.

Don’t just succeed—thrive.

TESTIMONIALS
“Thanks so much for your guidance in helping me to negotiate in my new leadership position. It was so important to comprehensively think through all the layers of things I should ask for, how to ask for it, and help me find my confidence to know it is ok. I am happy to say that I was able to successfully negotiate to get the personnel I wanted, the stipend that I wanted to support myself along with a reduction in clinical time, which was my main ask. I was also able to have departmental support to launch a new program. It all feels almost surreal. I cannot thank you enough!!!”
