My journey
I believe we are here for a reason: to use our talents and time in the best possible way to live a purpose-driven, balanced life.
As a multi-passionate, restless high-achiever, it took me a long time to realize this. Even after deciding on my 30th birthday that I would be ‘happy, free, and impactful,’ I needed considerable time to figure out how to achieve it. After graduating from law school, I worked in public service, built international relations at an NGO, and became a university professor. I love teaching and mentoring young scholars, and the freedom and international environment was rewarding. But suddenly, an unexpected turn brought me back to my passion for art, leading me to develop and manage classical music projects. In this role, I established a program to support young musicians in learning entrepreneurship, building their careers and realizing their dream projects.
During a career coaching program, as I reflected on this seemingly zigzag path, it suddenly made sense: in all my roles, I had been mentoring, coaching, and supporting others in dreaming big and working toward their goals. Here it was: the purpose I was looking for but was too busy to understand.
On this journey, I received enormous support from mentors, therapists, and coaches, which made me an advocate for asking for and accepting help. Others often see our true potential better and can inspire, encourage, and challenge us to find out-of-the-box solutions and build our unique path.
My mission is to be this person for you—someone who supports you in building a purpose-driven, highly intentional, and balanced life, career, business, or organization. I want to help you align with your values, recognize your strengths, and gain clarity on your vision and next steps. I look forward to witnessing your growth.
