About Me

Why I do what I do?

In my youth, my father wanted me to become a professional volleyball player and then an accountant but one day, when it was time for me to choose a career path, I informed him that I wanted to do psychology. I still remember the room we were in and the overwhelming stubbornness on both sides during that conversation. Tears were shed … mine :) But I could not imagine myself as an accountant so it had to be psychology.

Taking charge of my career was both hard and easy!

Then something else happened. I realized that we will work for the rest of our lives (breaking news, I know!) and at the same time, I noticed that some people around me were waking up every morning to go do a job they did not enjoy. I found that unacceptable and decided to change that for as many people as I can.

Due to these experiences, I chose to study organizational psychology. After I finished my Ph.D., I had the joy of coaching thousands of professionals from Fortune 500 executives to girls and women part of different NGOs.

Now I support human beings to wake up happier in the morning because they go do a job they enjoy!

How can I support you?

I support professionals like you to have better career adventures!

I am passionate about increasing the number of people in this world who enjoy their careers!

There are multiple transitions in a career! I support professionals to navigate with ease their early career path, job change, career change, and career development while handling the mental and emotional impact associated with that journey.

Setting goals will give you a direction but your actions are what will turn the invisible into the visible. At the end of the day, without taking action – do that thing that feels hard – you will not succeed. Through our action-oriented coaching sessions, you will feel the joy of focusing on a goal, acting on it, and embracing your achievements.
