My journey as a coach began in my 20s when I realized I was stuck in people-pleasing mode in many aspects of my life, one being in my career. I was on a career path that I thought I should be on rather than the path I truly wanted to be on.
This quickly led me away from a great career as an Educational Therapist to pursue and earn my Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology.
Towards the end of my Ph.D. program, I worked with an incredible life and career coach who helped me to awaken to my life's purpose: to guide women in leading with true authenticity and purpose in both their lives and careers. I continue to experience the benefits of my own engagement with a coach more than a decade ago.
Since then, I have started a successful US-based coaching business, lived in Mexico for three years, moved to Paris, and started a second France-based coaching business. I now call Paris home, and I'm loving making a life in France for the long term. I am living a life beyond my wildest dreams and get to be true to who I am in my life and in my career.
