About Mara

I am a life, career, and leadership coach dedicated to helping individuals navigate transitions, create meaningful change, and foster growth with clarity and purpose. With fifteen years of leadership experience spanning content production, project management, and founding both a political media organization and an AI tech startup, I bring a diverse perspective to this work. I offer various frameworks for partnering, all drawing upon the science of self-awareness, design thinking principles, my ICF coach training, and cross-industry experience.

I believe that self-awareness is the cornerstone of wellbeing and living a fulfilling life, whatever that may look like for you. Throughout my career leading people and teams, I observed that traditional tools for feedback were failing to help people build self-awareness as a skill for goal setting, leading, decision-making, and more. This led me to collaborate with leading researchers and organizational psychologists to develop a platform that turns external perceptions into meaningful data for transformational growth. Whether you're seeking to align your life with values, launch a business, or grow as a leader, I create supportive spaces where you can explore possibilities, overcome challenges, and achieve your goals with confidence and authenticity.

My Perspective

Clients say…

  • I look forward to my time with Mara because, in every coaching session with her, she helps me to take a step forward towards my goals. She offers me the perfect balance between sage advice, reflection questions, and laying out bite-sized next steps. With Mara, I have a cheerleader in my corner who understands where I'm at and where I'm going. Her extensive business, leadership and cross-functional expertise makes her an incredibly well-rounded executive coach. Mara helps me to fire on the right cylinders at the right times. She has given me advice on my business model, preparing for presentations and speaking engagements and how to frame my content for my target audiences. All of this has already translated to new client work and more speaking engagements. I view Mara as a critical part of my ability to grow my Start Culture Shift business, and I'm so grateful she's my coach.

    Carol Shen, Founder, Start Culture Shift

  • I've been working with Mara to coach me through a career tweak and pivot over the past six months. Mara is an exceptionally astute, open-minded and supportive guide. She took me through the process of requesting and receiving feedback via the Loupe tool, which was invaluable in helping me determine the best way forward. As our coaching relationship evolved, Mara has become my creativity coach and champion, shoring up my creative confidence, keeping me organized, and encouraging me to think and play outside the box while staying completely grounded. I highly recommend Mara as a coach through life or career transitions.
