Welcome!
I’m Jade (she/her)
I’m passionate about supporting individuals with their personal growth journey.
I first felt this enthusiasm while working in student affairs. Within various roles, I got to support first and second-year university students with their adjustment to university life by creating academic events and community building programs, in addition to having conversations with these students. These conversations were reflective, coach-like, and clarifying. The topics of these conversations included personal development, social identity, goal setting, leadership, and community engagement.
My passion for supporting others with impactful conversation was illuminated from these ongoing conversations with students. I pursued my Master of Education as I was keen to learn more about community engagement, adult education, and leadership.
After completing my M.Ed., I worked in other roles. My soul was seeking to come back to these reflective, illuminative, and fulfilling conversations and so, Kind Impact Coaching was founded.
In my free time, I enjoy practicing roller skating, listening to audiobooks, and visiting art galleries.
