I’m the expert in

helping creative entrepreneurs, freelancers, and individuals appreciate their unconventional career paths and tap into the power of their unique Zone of Genius. 

As seen on:

my career was unconventional from the start.

When I left my corporate career in 2015, I had pursued three careers in 10 years. I had started out teaching preschool, moved on to working in event planning, and then pivoted into marketing at a Fortune 500 company. All while earning a Master’s Degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. 

Burned out after a big promotion and unsure what was next, I started a business and continued pivoting in my unconventional way… Career coaching. Creating courses. Resume writing. Recruiting freelancers. Consulting on organizational strategies. 

Along the way, I unlearned everything I had been taught at work and at school about setting goals, being productive, and finding meaningful work. I often experienced intense self-doubt because the path through my career and business were so unconventional. 


But that’s the thing with unconventional path. It is different... but it's also distinctive. 

Standing out isn't always a bad thing. If it brings you more success in our modern world, more joy in your day-to-day life, and more freedom in your work. Then, it seems like we have no choice but to do things differently.

So while the world may never validate or appreciate your unique career path or mine, I’m here to tell you: I will. And the next step is to start exploring your unique Zone of Genius.
