How I can help

Career paths are not linear. We are all on our own journey, but sometimes life throws us a curveball and leads us on a detour. Maybe you’re feeling stressed, burnt out, or simply want to grow, but don’t know where to go. I have been in your shoes and had to learn what’s truly urgent and important in life. Imagine what it would be like to thrive in a job you love.

Let me help you find your way.

  • Have your found yourself on a path that is no longer serving you, but you’re scared to make a change? Let’s help you find clarity to identify what other opportunities align with your values and regain agency to confidently go after them.

  • Learn how to stand out while showing up as your most authentic self. As an experienced marketer, I’ll show you how to apply the principles I used building billion dollar brands to develop your own distinctive personal brand.

  • Do difficult conversations make you anxious? Does your heartbeat accelerate at the thought of speaking in front of a crowd? Let’s help you overcome the nerves and master your communication skills so you’re ready to nail that next big presentation or conversation.
