ABOUT ME

If we are to partner together, I will get to learn lots about you…
So it’s only fair that this journey starts by you knowing a little more about me.

But titles only tell part of the story…

I didn’t arrive at coaching through theory.
I arrived here through reinvention.

My career began in entertainment.
I transitioned into marketing and solopreneurship.
Then into nonprofit leadership and social impact.

I’ve lived in New York, Paris, Nice, LA.
I’ve been married. Divorced. Then happily married again.
I’ve quit toxic jobs. I’ve been laid off.
I’ve grieved profound loss.

I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
I’ve rebuilt professionally while raising children.
I’ve navigated activism, entrepreneurship, and financial recalibration.
I’ve built a nonprofit from the ground up.

Through it all, a few things have remained constant:
my commitment to personal growth, my resilience through change, and my deep belief in the power of women, friendship, and community.

I am fiery by nature. I believe in courage, laughter, and showing up fully for life — even when it’s messy.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, I had to ask myself:

Who am I becoming now?

Coaching became the container for that question — and the space where women can explore it with honesty, courage, and support.

TESTIMONIALS

  • "At a moment of significant transition in my career, working with Agatha helped me slow down and reconnect with what truly matters. She has an exceptional ability to listen, extract below-surface level themes, and ask the questions that unlock real clarity. I left our work together with renewed confidence in my voice and a much clearer sense of direction."

    — Katie Fellion, VP Fox Entertainment

  • "There’s a unique space where we exist as both moms and professionals, and very few places where we can honestly talk through everything we’re navigating. Coaching with Agatha gave me that space. Our conversations helped me process what was happening in both my personal and professional life and understand how those worlds intersect. I often came into sessions feeling overwhelmed, but left with clarity, perspective, and a renewed sense of possibility."

    — Dr. Richelle Brooks, Founder ReThinkIt | Organizer | Student Loan Abolitionist

  • "I had spent so many years learning my industry that I couldn’t see my own strengths. Agatha helped me recognize the value of my story and the skills I had overlooked. She asks questions in a way that is both supportive and challenging, creating a space where you can be vulnerable and grow. She sees the full potential in someone’s story and highlights strengths to uncover opportunities and next steps. I’m incredibly grateful to have worked with her.”

    — Rebecca Wagner, Land Steward and Livestock Production Specialist.
