My Story

I’ve been through the brambles of self- doubt and change.

Born in Switzerland to American parents, I have spent my life moving between schools, cities, countries, languages, and careers. I struggle to answer the question, “Where are you from?” And like many of the people I work with today, I’ve spent years searching for the “right” path.

I was told that I could write and I knew that I was visual, so I worked as a book editor, fashion editor, photo stylist, journalist, copywriter, translator, and English teacher to adults in New York then Paris. Each role taught me something, but none felt like the full answer.

About twelve years ago, I realised I needed a genuine shift. My parents were gone, my son was growing up, and I was coming to a dead end in my current career. Seeking to combine creativity with practical direction, I enrolled in the Global Fashion MBA at the Institut Français de la Mode in Paris.

The programme was inspiring and international. Yet as I explored the industry more deeply, I realised that fashion was no longer my field.

But toward the end of the year, classmates began coming to me to talk through their own decisions and life questions. In those conversations, I discovered where I truly belonged: helping people think through the life changes that often accompany career shifts.

I went on to train and certify as a coach—first with CTI in London, then as a Designing Your Life coach, and later as a licensed Firework Career Coach. And I moved from central Paris to the south coast of the UK.

I have found that finding a fulfilling next chapter is rarely about discovering a single “perfect” career. It’s about learning to listen more closely to who you are becoming—and having the courage and support to move in that direction.

Today, I help others navigate moments of transition with clarity, curiosity, and confidence. ✨✨
