Life Coach. Workforce Training. Career Clothing Provider.
Change is where growth begins.
We help youth and adults across Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland build confidence, get ready for work, and show up prepared. Three programs, one goal: helping you take your next step.
We are open to hosting Saturday workshops in social and emotional learning (SEL), job readiness, life skills, and personal development. If your school, library, church, or community group would like to host one, please reach out.
Every person has a goal worth reaching, and no one should have to reach it alone.
I have spent my career walking beside people as they build confidence, find work, and start again. I have seen what happens when someone finally believes in themselves, and it never gets old.
I started Change is Growth to be the person in your corner. Change can feel scary, but it is where growth begins. If you are ready to take the next step, I am ready to take it with you.
