My Story

I’ve navigated my share of career transitions—moving from clinical chemistry to sales, then recruiting, and professional coaching. 

For years, I worked as a corporate recruiter and loved building teams and working with all types of organizations. It was a fun and thrilling time. I returned to school to get educated as a professional coach which really helped me expand my knowledge in the recruiting profession and began coaching individuals on career transitions. 

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 realized I couldn't continue at the pace I was living and decided it was time to change my life. 

Reinvention 

Reinventing myself wasn’t just about survival; it was about finding more 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 discovered this: every obstacle is an opportunity. This realization not only shaped my recruitment expertise but also 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

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.
