I help individuals who feel stuck or uncertain about their next step gain clarity, direction, and confidence in their career and life. My experience spans multiple roles and environments, starting as a Career Advisor where I guided individuals through important academic and career decisions. I later moved to the United States, where I completed my MBA and built my career in a corporate IT environment. Working across different roles and industries has given me a strong understanding of how careers actually evolve and how easily people can feel confused or misaligned despite doing everything “right.” My approach is practical, honest, and focused on clarity. I don’t offer generic advice — I help you simplify your thoughts, understand your situation, and make decisions that are aligned with you. I can help you: • Gain clarity in your career direction • Navigate uncertainty and major transitions • Overcome overthinking and mental blocks • Make confident, well-thought-out decisions If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about what to do next, I’ll help you think through it clearly and move forward with confidence.
