My Story

I’ve navigated my share of career transitions—moving from clinical chemistry to sales, then recruiting, and now professional coaching. I understand how intimidating change can feel.

For years, I worked as a corporate recruiter. It wasn’t glamorous. There were layoffs, micromanagers, and those never-ending days in cramped cubicles. I pushed through, thinking it was just part of the job.

The Wake-Up Call

One morning, while speeding down the freeway to make an early meeting, something happened that I’ll never forget. My chest tightened, my breath became shallow, and I thought, This must be a heart attack.

I pulled over, shaking and overwhelmed, only to hear the words: anxiety attack. That night, I knew I couldn’t keep living like that.

Finding Purpose

Reinventing myself wasn’t just about survival; it was about finding joy and meaning in my work. Later, when ageism became another barrier in my career, I faced an undeniable truth: navigating mid-career transitions is challenging.

But I also learned this—every obstacle is an opportunity. That realization became the foundation of my career coaching business.

Now, I help others rewrite their own career stories—empowering them to find work they love and build a life that aligns with their values.

 

Fast Forward to Today

After years in the high-pressure trenches of Silicon Valley as a Corporate Recruiter, I discovered my true passion: helping others navigate their own career transitions with clarity and confidence.

Today, I’m grateful to say I’ve emerged from the chaos and confusion into a career and lifestyle that light me up from the inside out. Doing work that aligns with my values and empowers me to show up authentically feels nothing short of magical.

Every day, I have the freedom to use my strengths and talents to create meaningful change in the lives of others. This isn’t just my story—it can be yours too. By reconnecting with who you are today, you can find work that fills you with purpose and excitement.

Over the years, I’ve guided countless corporate professionals through career challenges, breaking down complex paths into clear, actionable steps. Watching them grow in confidence, discover their value, and reach their goals is what fuels my own journey.
