I'm an educator passionate about helping people navigate their career journey.

I’ve been a career development professional in Canadian higher education for 4 years (and an educator for 14!) and have helped thousands of students, alumni and other folks search for jobs and explore career paths.

I encourage people to reflect deeply on their skills, knowledge, and interests, empowering them to find great jobs through research, networking, and experimentation. It has been a privilege to help so many people learn how to strategically job search, discover unconventional career paths and re-discover their confidence, .

My career path has been a lesson in the beauty of taking chances on unexpected opportunities and leaning into your strengths - I went from studying dance professionally, through formal teacher training and into 10 years in the non-profit sector, as an educator, program manager, curriculum designer and wearer-of-many-hats (HR, operations, fundraising, partnerships - the list goes on!). For the past 5 years, I’ve been in the career education space and haven’t looked back.
