I have repeatedly observed that people can achieve personal greatness if given the right support and encouragement. My true passion has always been to help people achieve goals they may not have thought possible. As a Career Ownership Coach, I empower people who are considering alternate lifestyles or who may be in career transition to look at the career options, including ownership, that are the right fit for their lifestyle goals. I work with them to discover how to use their current skills, education, and experience to impact their lives and gain them the financial freedom they may be seeking. This is all done in a safe, judgment-free environment where trust is achieved.

I am a 30-year internationally seasoned Business Development and Marketing Executive with a proven record of starting and managing incubator businesses through technical, strategic, and commercial avenues working locally and internationally. Throughout my career, I also learned about the challenges of a small business, starting a business, and then starting my own. In one of my current roles, I meet and engage with local entrepreneurs every day and marvel at their energy and passion. I realized my true passion is helping others define their best path forward to achieve success others thought impossible or could not imagine. This passion for helping others and supporting prior team members who decided to start up their businesses led me to join the wonderful team at The Entrepreneur’s Source.

My decision to join The Entrepreneur's Source was not a hasty one. I was searching for a way to give back and support others in their pursuit of lifestyle dreams. After careful consideration, I found that The Entrepreneur’s Source offered the ideal platform. It provides comprehensive coaching, tools, and a robust support system, catering to individuals at all stages of life.
