The Mentor
Mentoring is one of the most meaningful parts of my work, and has led me to pursue my professional training as a coach specialized in life and career transitions. For the past decades, this work has taken many forms: individual coaching, group facilitation, community building and more. I have also mentored and coached across industries: academia, policy, entrepreneurship, podcasting, and more. The goal has remained the same: empower people building lives and careers that reflect who they are and what they envision, and (re)build systems and spaces that make that possible.
The conversations
that matter most.
From keynotes to interactive workshops, I bring a human-first approach with expertise and lived experience into spaces that connect people, ideas, and institutions to challenge and expand career development as we know it.

Mentoring as a practice
and ongoing conversation.
We are fundamentally shaped by those around us and those who inspire us along the way. As a first-generation college graduate crafting my own path across industries and countries, I continue to live by this belief and create projects and spaces that turn each win into a resource for others.
Listen to Lucky to Be Here to learn more about others who have built lives and careers across industries and countries and discuss what it takes and what it means to build their own paths. Each conversation also features discussions where I share my own experience and perspective, and even some of my coaching approach throughout.
