My Journey
Passionate about Inspiring Clients
to Get to their Best Version.
My parents and family are a big influence on the humanitarian work I do. I grew up observing their selfless work. Later in life, I served as a global Humanitarian worker in the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in several manmade and natural emergencies where I served children and adults to get basic needs on time. I supported staff and families to overcome various issues and coached colleagues to reach their fullest potential whilst successfully implementing staff morale-boosting initiatives. During my professional career, I had some fantastic mentors who were my colleagues and supervisors, my foster family in Michigan, and my Psychology Professors. They gave me a wealth of technical knowledge and life experiences. I have learned so much about Life Coaching from all of them.
In my personal and professional life, I have had numerous challenges and failures and successfully overcome them. I have helped several people impacted by local and global challenges caused by natural and man-made emergencies and geopolitics and resolved issues in a timely manner. Additionally, I have hands-on working experience with persons in diverse global industries and cultural backgrounds to achieve success. Given my years of international experience specializing in Corporate and Nonprofit Programs and Operations (Administration, Finance, Human Resources, Procurement, Security, and Emergency) I am equipped to relate to most unique issues and personality types. Segments of my personal life journey may resonate with you. I am looking forward to sharing my experiences and life coaching expertise to help you get to your best self.
