My History
I am a career switcher myself. I fell into my first career and realized that, while successful, I wasn’t living my life with purpose. I did my own self reflection and due diligence on what motivated me. I figured out my priorities and what made me happy. I then aligned my career with those ideals.

I focused on developing skills, recognizing blind spots, and determining career aspirations. I also served as an Inclusive Leadership coach at Stern, focusing on diversity and inclusion techniques, and served as a mentor for a college access program since 2001.
