How it All Started ...
Curiosity has always been my compass—especially when life on paper looked flawless. I spent years in the corporate world, hitting every milestone a “successful” career demands, yet feeling a persistent disconnect. My scientific training told me to rely on logic and data, to silence that inner voice questioning what truly mattered.
As an immigrant living across multiple countries, I learned firsthand about uncertainty and adaptability—navigating new cultures, languages, and professional norms. Those transitions taught me that confidence isn’t built on certainty alone, but on our ability to adjust, learn, and grow.
Eventually, the mounting burnout and misalignment forced me to rethink success. It wasn’t about the next promotion or perfect process—it was about wholeness, purpose, and energy. That shift—to listen, to question, and to rebuild from the inside out—became the foundation of my work.
Now, I guide professionals and leaders through that same journey: reconnecting with their inner compass, reclaiming their energy, and redefining fulfillment on their own terms.

Human Experience, Leadership, and Wellbeing
When we return to the basics—our deep need for connection, belonging, and purpose—we tap into a reservoir of human potential that fuels everything we do. My journey through yoga, mindfulness, and diverse cultures has shown me how these simple, grounding practices rebuild resilience and spark clarity. For busy professionals and leaders navigating burnout or pivotal transitions, this isn’t just self-care; it’s the foundation of sustainable leadership. Authentic influence grows from a place of belonging and self-awareness, enabling you to engage challenges with intention, deepen relationships, and elevate productivity and fulfillment across all areas of your life.
... To Becoming a Coach
I mix grounded practices like yoga and mindfulness with modern tools—Six Sigma Process Improvement and Positive Intelligence—into simple, research-backed frameworks. This blend shows you how your energy, mind, body, and emotions actually work together. This integrative approach helps you pinpoint what fuels you, dismantle what drains you, and design strategies for sustainable performance and fulfillment.
Drawing on my journey as a mother, immigrant, scientist, yogi, project manager, and coach—and having explored leadership’s many facets, from strategic decision-making and adaptive resilience to emotional intelligence and authentic influence—I’ve learned that true growth happens at the intersection of achievement, and well-being.
I’m here to partner with you in building self-awareness, refining your inner processes, and balancing drive with resilience—so you can lead and live at your very best.
