My Story.

​My professional experience includes an eclectic journey through entertainment, tech, finance, international development, and wellness.

I went back to school to study career development because I knew there was more to this field than all the pop psych advice I saw floating around online. While I am all for 'cultivating a positive mindset' and have taught and practiced yoga and meditation for 20+ years, I am also a devotee of direct, intelligent, unabashedly practical action.

After many years struggling to balance being a working actor with more traditional jobs in corporate and startup environments around the world, I couldn't find career advice relevant to People Like Me. I kept wondering:
  •  What about those of us who don't always wake up amidst sunshine and unicorns every morning, eager to leap out of bed and manifest our destiny?
  • What about those of us who don't tick the traditional boxes?
    Who do more than one thing? Who prioritize art or activism or travel or entrepreneurship even when they are not always lucrative or stable or logical pursuits? Don't we deserve fulfilling careers, too?
  • What about everyone who thought they knew what they wanted, but after years of pursuing find it's not what they expected and now don't know what to do next?
  • What about everyone who never really knew what they wanted but have stumbled into whatever they're in and don't know how to get out? 
I built this practice for all those people. Welcome.
