My Story
I’ve had the privilege of serving multinational corporations, top executives, politicians, and public figures, shaping a fresh business perspective and enhancing their professional branding over the past two decades. You may come across these details on my LinkedIn profile when you search for me.
However, there’s a deeper, more personal story I’m eager to share with you.
After graduating from college I was passionate for a career in marketing. After a decade in corporate life, I decided to further my learning journey completing intensive trainings and launched my own consulting business as an entrepreneur. My purpose was clear – empower individuals and corporations through life transitions. My contributions received recognition from numerous sources, I was the “commuter between continents and two languages,” living in Turkey working with clients from all over the world. I was the sought after coach traveling around, guest speaker, author of a book and a single mom when my journey took a significant turn. I was granted the Extraordinary Ability Visa paving the way for a path to becoming a U.S. citizen. This milestone marked a pivotal step towards a permanent presence in the United States.
California was not a vacation spot for me anymore; but was I ready to call myself “an immigrant?”
The wind of change I felt was like the breeze of the Pacific ocean; happy and salty, relaxing in a way and carrying the crashing sound of the waves.
The transition to a new life was not easy. I struggled with the challenges of relocation– feeling isolated and unsettled. I felt the heaviness of recreating my life from scratch, it was so stressful to develop my new routines while raising a child without the support system I was used to back at home. Yet, this experience of navigating a life beyond familiar boundaries transformed me. It humbled, challenged, and illuminated parts of myself I never knew existed.
Presently, I stand as a mother, daughter, sister, and a proud U.S. citizen and unwavering entrepreneur. My life experiences have given me multiple perspectives. And I am more than excited about sharing my learnings and giving you the tips, tools and strategies that will help you live the life you deserve.
I travelled over 30 countries, observed many different cultures, coached expats relocating and been an immigrant myself. I understand the challenges and responsibilities of bridging cultural gaps. After years of exploration, struggle, and adaptation, I’ve distilled my experiences into a method designed to guide you through change, embrace growth, and thrive in your new home.
Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, where your success becomes the shared destination.
