Have you spent most of your

 career working abroad

Is your work more than just a job,

but a mission that defines you?

If the recent shifts in U.S. foreign assistance have left you feeling angry, frustrated, and uncertain about your next steps, you're not alone. The world you’ve dedicated your life to is changing—fast—and it's leaving many purpose-driven professionals questioning their future.

I understand because I’ve been there.

Two years ago, after 25 years in the field, I was let go. It was more than just a job loss—it was a complete identity shift. My mission was my compass, my community, my purpose. And suddenly, it was gone. So I understand, when the thing that has shaped your life disappears overnight.

And through my own darkest of days,

this is what I learned

You cannot let fear and uncertainty paralyze you
Great tragedy can also be the start of a great adventure- it depends on your mindset and approach
This moment is an opportunity to redefine your path and take control of what’s next, whether that to be to double down on purpose in a new way, or to find something else that inspires you

Since then, I’ve retrained as a professional coach, specializing in helping leaders like you:

Navigate career transitions with more ease and confidence, understanding the many possibilities available
Redefine purpose beyond their current roles and connect with what lights them up, so that they love what they do again
And to double down on their leadership skills and take control of their next chapter so that they do not feel like a victim to circumstance

Today, I am excited by my life and my career. I look forward to every day and all that I am able to do for myself and others. I have created resilience and inner strength that allows me to enjoy my life and to be far less affected by outside forces (even when they are far from perfect). I am also able to fully enjoy time with my kids, our friends, and family because I have learned how to create space for the things that matter beyond work.

I’m bringing these skills together in
