About Me

A few years ago, I was sitting in one of those behind-the-scenes HR meetings where promotions get decided. I realized something that changed everything: it’s not just about hard work. It’s about visibility, narrative, and having the right advocates in the room.

After 13+ years in HR, I’ve seen too many talented women, immigrants, neurodivergent and quiet leaders get overlooked. Not because they weren’t ready, but because the system wasn’t built for how they lead.

Now, I coach mid-career professionals who feel stuck, underrecognized, or ready for more. Whether you’re navigating a pivot, aiming for a promotion, or just trying to figure out why your brilliance isn’t being seen, I’m here to help.

My approach blends career strategy, leadership development, and mindset clarity. We’ll build your personal brand, your visibility plan, and your confidence without changing who you are.

You don’t need a power pose. You need a strategy that honors your identity.

Your career is your business. It’s time to be the CEO of your life™..

Specialties: Career Clarity • Promotion Strategy • Executive Presence • Neurodivergent Leadership • Immigrant Professionals • Women in Transition

Results & Goals

Most professionals are running their careers like employees, waiting for direction, recognition, or promotion, but here’s the truth: You are an independent contractor of your own career. That means your career should be run like a business, with strategy, not just performance reviews.
