Biography

Hey there! I have worked in international roles for over seventeen years including teaching, international student services, refugee services, professional development, human rights, translation, copyediting, library work, and more. From hustling modeling jobs in China to becoming the first woman permitted by a ko’pkari chairman to participate in a dangerous horse-riding game in Uzbekistan, I have a wealth of experience to share with you on how to make opportunities happen!  

In my free time I enjoy listening to weird vinyl, fight training, hiking, and block printing. I value practical steps to success, and I love simplifying information, so set up an appointment and we’ll talk through whatever you need!
