As a former Division I student-athlete, a Teach For America corps member with a Masters in Educational Leadership and over a decade of experience in numerous counseling and educational capacities, Ms. Marisha has developed an unmatched knack for motivating others to achieve their goals. Ms. Marisha believes her non-academic path to understanding human behavior, her silent struggle through what she calls her "mid-20’s life crisis" and her relentless mission to help others find their happily ever after in love and life led her to her current work.

From some of the country’s most under-resourced communities to the most affluent neighborhoods, Marisha has impacted thousands of children, young adults and their families. She has developed and managed after school programs for national nonprofits, worked on the executive team as a Recruitment Director for an international vocational education agency where she offered guidance and increased job placement opportunities for young adults, and played a pivotal role in reviving a private 6-12th grade academy.

For the last two years, Marisha has used her professional background in education and personal aspirations to take the leap into the world of entrepreneurship. Ms. Marisha launched a career in Matchmaking and shortly after, saw the opportunity to also offer coaching. She began her company, RelationSHIFT™, a one-on-one coaching practice helping busy professionals rethink what’s possible in love and life and has served executives and professionals nationwide. Ready to expand, Ms. Marisha is on a mission to help forward thinking companies improve how their people live, work, and love. As an educator at heart, Marisha continues to cultivate the development of young people, particularly student-athletes.

Leveraging her passion for storytelling, her belief in the power of authenticity, and the notion that assets are harbored within adversities, Marisha weaves lessons learned from her own RelationSHIFT™ journey and tools she's developed for her clients to help others redefine harmony, purpose, connection and success. Marisha’s coaching style infuses REBT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing methodologies.
