I’m a former management consultant, advisor to Gov’t executives, and an ex-Chief of Staff for a COO.

I’ve built 19+ years of leadership experience for teams, projects, and programs. I’m a nerd at heart… with a math degree, I’m innately wired to love data, look for & dig into analyses… and I am quite at home in a spreadsheet. But I’m also an interpreter and teacher at heart… I love getting to know other people, learning what motivates them and how to help them grow in new ways and patterns, too.

I have a knack for communicating with others in a way that helps them grasp new concepts in a simplified way, and that’s what makes me come alive!

I’m an ICF-certified, Associate Certified Coach and founded The Semmel Group in 2024 because I love coming alongside leaders as they look to gain margin, scale their influence, and build their own confidence as they grow. I’m a lifelong learner who values faith, wisdom, learning, competition, and fun.

I’m located in the greater DC metro area, but I love to travel! When I’m not running The Semmel Group, or facilitating a workshop with InnerSpark Development (read more here) with two of my therapist business partners… I’m with my 3 kids and husband exploring, playing, and eating.
