Professional Experience - Coach, Writer, Speaker, Editor
My career began as a professional actress working in Manhattan. During that time I secured many temporary positions where I was exposed to all types of work across various industries. I noticed that most people did not like their jobs. I earned a Masters in Counseling Psychology at Fordham University and subsequently moved into coaching after my graduate studies, with a certification from the International Coach Academy. I was awarded an Associate Certified Accreditation within the International Coach Federation of which I am a member in good standing.
While building my career coaching business, I also served as the Hall of Fame Director for Interior Design magazine. In addition to planning this major annual event for the publication, I began coaching individuals within the Architecture and Design community. During this time I developed presentations and conducted workshops for those seeking career change. After leaving my position at the magazine, I founded The Essential Coach to dedicate my experience and education to coaching individuals in all fields while they navigate life transitions, including career challenges. I offer one-on-one coaching and group as well and I am available for speaking engagements and customized workshops.
For writers I developed DiMonte Publishing that offers services including developmental, content, copy editing, and coaching. I can guide those who want to self-publish since I went through the process with the publication of my first book, a novel. Receiving Grace is available on Amazon here.
