Filling out my 5-minute journal, savoring my avocado toast, and snuggling my adorable pup

daily rituals:

Finding the best local coffee shops, exploring local parks, and getting lost in used bookstore aisles

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Cookie-cutter solutions, starting from scratch, going it alone, or settling for less than you deserve

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Creating careers that fit your life, getting paid your worth, building on your strengths, and rolling up my sleeves to help you every step of the way

I BELIEVE IN:

But here's the thing – that challenging transition lit a fire in me. Not only did I land an amazing corporate role that offered everything I was looking for, but I also discovered a new passion: helping other teachers do the same.

Now, as a certified career coach, I get to combine my firsthand experience of career transition with professional coaching skills to guide fellow educators towards more fulfilling professional lives. I believe that the skills you've honed in the classroom are incredibly valuable – we just need to showcase them in the right way.

My approach is all about empowering you to recognize your worth and potential beyond teaching. Together, we'll navigate the sometimes choppy waters of career change, celebrating the wins and problem-solving the challenges along the way.

My journey wasn't always smooth sailing. I spent countless hours figuring out how to translate my teaching skills into "corporate speak," navigating job boards, and wondering if anyone would hire a "just a teacher." Sound familiar?

The idea of a thirty-year teaching career suddenly felt daunting. I craved better work-life balance, the flexibility of remote work, and frankly, a salary that matched my skills and dedication. So, I took a leap of faith and began exploring options outside of education.
