Meet the Coach

Turning my pain and learning into power, I’ve founded Sturdy Coaching to partner with early and mid-career professionals in Norway who want to move from overthinking and overwhelm to mental clarity, confidence, and courage.

10 years of teaching primary and middle school, 3 years working on a school leadership team, and 2 years working as an instructional coach have allowed me to build top skills as an educator, communicator, and facilitator of learning.

My personal experience with overcoming burnout and mental health struggles drives me to share my passion for mental fitness and an unshakable belief that we can each build better when we commit to doing the work. I love getting to partner with my clients to create transformation in their mindsets and life, and it is my privilege to their biggest cheerleader along the way!
