hi, i’m amy.

I come from industrial roots. Growing up in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood as the oldest daughter in a blue-collar family, work was woven into everyday life whether delivering newspapers, organizing files, or lending a hand with side jobs. My relationship with work started early, shaped by necessity, pride, and resilience.

As a first-generation college graduate, I carried the weight of student loans and the desire to find meaningful purpose in my career. I began in healthcare, drawn by firsthand experiences navigating the system with my grandparents. I quickly learned how much emotional labor care teams hold and how vital it is that those who care for others feel supported themselves.

For over a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, workplace culture, and human wellbeing. I’ve led teams, coached individuals, and partnered with executives to shape healthier, more equitable work environments. But even with progress, the truth remains: too many people feel disconnected, undervalued, or simply stuck in systems that weren’t designed for their thriving.

That’s why I started my coaching practice.

At human. heart. work., I hold space for you to reconnect with yourself, your values, and what truly matters. Whether you’re navigating burnout, life transitions, or just longing to feel more aligned, I offer a grounded, judgment-free space to explore and grow.
