About Nancy

My Story

My working-world background includes 3 years in fundraising, 7 years in web design as a freelancer and senior web designer for the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (F.I.D.M.), and 15 years as a communications and marketing director for a Los Angeles private school. I’m also a professionally trained illustrator, with a passion for photography, collage, and gardening.

Skills:

My years in marketing and communications work taught me the joys of meeting and listening to people, holding space for them, and vibrating with their ideas and dreams. It also taught me how to tackle complex projects on deadlines and discern the heart of an issue so the intended result could be delivered.

The visual arts have taught me to notice everything, appreciate detail and quality, adopt new perspectives, read situations and people, and pay close attention to what is being conveyed on multiple levels.

Now those skills are employed in my daily work as a life coach and blend with the one’s I learned in my professional coach training which include: Curiosity, Empathy, Skilled Questioning, Goal Setting and Planning.
