About me

I help tech professionals at a crossroads design their next career chapter with clarity, strategy, and momentum. As a UX strategist turned career strategist, I bring over a decade of experience in user research, stakeholder/UX alignment, and product innovation to your career journey. I give tech professionals the same strategic frameworks I’ve used to build great products, applied to your most important product: your life. My approach is rooted in UX research methodologies. That means we don’t guess—we uncover, validate, and move forward with confidence. Whether you’re stuck in decision paralysis or navigating a pivot, I help you see the big picture and build a roadmap that’s grounded, personal, and actionable. Clients work with me for structured, candid coaching that’s both strategic and human. They walk away with clarity, insight, and an actionable plan that reflects their values, not someone else’s playbook. My background in UX allows me to guide you through self-discovery with structure and empathy—using research tools like journey mapping, decision frameworks, and stakeholder interviews (yours included). I’m not here to give you templated advice. I’m here to co-create a path with you—one that aligns with your values, goals, and life context.
