I didn’t know what I wanted to do after high school until I was 38.
Which is why I work with teens to help them prep for college, and for life, by
UNLOCKING AND UNLEASHING THEIR HIDDEN STRENGTHS AT AN EARLY AGE
I want to save them 20 years of searching.
For example, I’ve been a marketer, a saleswoman, a project manager, and an MBA student. I’ve owned multiple businesses, including a boutique handmade undergarment service. (Yes, really.)
But one day, when I just couldn’t bring myself to thread another needle, I realized a hard truth that changed my life. (And has the capacity to change yours, too.)
If you don’t build your career, business, and life around your authentic, natural strengths
there will always be a ceiling on your success... and your happiness.
And my natural strength?
It's helping teens who don’t know what to do after high school discover their natural strengths and confidently make college and life choices based on what they know to be true about themselves.
As their coach, I work with them to identify and unleash the superpowers they didn’t even know were superpowers. Through our work together, they find the confidence, clarity, and affirmation they need to take that big step forward into adulthood and save them 20 years of career struggle and frustration.
If you’re anxious about your teen’s anxiety about what to do after high school,

Hello! I found out this morning that I got the role 🤩 Thank you for all the guidance and coaching you've given to me over the last 9 months. I would not have had any direction or frankly self confidence to go through the process without the work we did together. THANK YOU!

MY CORE BELIEFS AS A COACH - FOR TEENS AND ADULTS
I’ve been doing this work for a long time.
Here are a few things I know to be true.
-
And they’re waiting for you. The combination of skills, experiences, and insights that all contribute to what makes you, you, is totally distinct. You have specific hidden strengths that are entirely unique to you. Tapping into them is the key to unlocking the confidence and clarity you need to take the next big step in your life or career.
-
You’re entitled to be confident in your unique personal strengths—and to act on that confidence, so you can build the life you want. Henry David Thoreau said, "go confidently in the direction of your dreams and live the life you have imagined." That isn’t just a great refrigerator quote. It's a great reminder that we're responsible for our hopes and dreams. No one else is. So if you can't go confidently, who will?
-
Some of the biggest and scariest things I've ever done, I did because I had someone who knew what I wanted and they helped push me beyond my own self-imposed limits. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, but I couldn't do it on my own. Having someone in my corner changed my life, and the same can be true for you. Whatever your goals, you don’t have to go it alone.
