I have over 15 years experience in teaching, coaching, training and curriculum development.

 

Currently, I balance facilitating groups, training, creating and presenting workshops. In addition to these tasks, a great deal of my time is spent coaching individuals toward their own career goals.

 

 

My work has ignited the fire in me to devote my own professional life to career development and to create the long-term relationships with individuals in career transition.
