About Me.

For the past twenty years, I've worked in various industries, finding the most satisfaction in roles that allow me to integrate empathy and creativity with my passion for analysis, strategy, and problem-solving. Since the beginning of my professional journey in the early 2000s, I've been drawn to positions that involve empowering others. Whether teaching a child a new skill, coaching a teacher, assisting individuals in overcoming trauma, or consulting with executives on HR strategy, I've consistently chosen jobs that uplift, empower, and guide others on their unique journeys.

 

After graduating high school, I stayed in New Jersey when my family moved to the west coast. I began living on my own, just one week after graduation, attended college part-time and started my professional career as an assistant manager at Gold’s Gym. I enjoyed leading people and helping them feel their best. Later, I relocated to Arizona and began my career at a private school for children with autism. I started as a teaching assistant, earned several promotions, and eventually became the Director of HR and Programs. I was responsible for all student enrollment, built the HR department from scratch, implemented the Zenefits HCM platform, coached staff on Applied Behavior Analysis Principles, and developed various training and employee experience programs that fostered a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. While working at the school, I attended Arizona State University. I had a broad interest in humanities, social sciences, and education, which made selecting a major difficult. Despite changing my major several times, I made the Dean’s list multiple times and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s of Liberal Studies, with most of my coursework focused in Psychology, Sociology, Teaching, Human Development, and Communication.

 

After dedicating 11 years to the school and successfully growing both the student and employee base, I decided to expand my experience and entered the corporate world. In 2019, I joined a commercial bank as a Senior HR Business Partner and was promoted to HR Manager in 2021. At the bank, I’ve led several employee experience initiatives, developed an Executive 360-degree Performance Assessment, enhanced engagement through innovative programs and DEI workshops, and successfully partnered with senior leadership to support the organization's HR and business objectives. This experience ignited my passion for Human Resources and inspired me to further my expertise. Despite the daunting 64% pass rate, I persevered through the four-hour exam and earned the Senior-Certified HR Professional (SHRM-SCP) credential from the Society for Human Resource Management.

 

The Pivotal Moment

In 2021, I found myself questioning my life's purpose and what the point of existence was. Despite nothing being "wrong" (yet), I was burnt out personally and professionally and was not at peace with myself. I was sleepwalking through life, “checking the box” each day and merely going through the motions. I was not at peace with myself and I knew there had to be more to life than rinsing and repeating every day. I finally made the decision that it was time for change and embarked on a transformative journey. Things seemed to be looking up until tragedy struck in late 2022. I faced a series of personal tragedies and found myself in the darkest place I had ever been. I experienced loss, went through a divorce, and uprooted my life to start anew. I sought the help of energy healers and life coaches, which helped me overcome the grief that haunted me daily. Following this cathartic period of self-reflection and transformation, I wanted others to experience the emotional liberation that I felt, so I sought training in the same methods that helped me through my most challenging times. Now, I am a Certified and Registered Hypnotherapist, a Board-Certified NLP Coach and Practitioner, and a Certified Practitioner of Time Line Therapy®. I am recognized by the American Board of Hypnotherapy, the American Board of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and the Time Line Therapy® Association. This recognition is for my skills in hypnotherapy principles, communication, and therapeutic techniques, my ability to understand and influence the relationship between thoughts, language, and behavior, and my expertise in helping individuals release negative emotions, overcome limiting decisions, and reframe past experiences.

 

In 2023, I founded Evolvement Coaching & Consulting LLC, a firm dedicated to helping individuals enhance their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and to develop new mental and emotional patterns that facilitate personal and professional growth. At the heart of my mission is the desire to assist individuals in overcoming any limitations or obstacles they might face, whether they are personal or professional. I am committed to helping them set ambitious yet achievable goals, transform their mindset and to improve their relationships. 

 

Embarking on this journey of enlightenment led me to re-evaluate everything and find my true purpose. I've learned that life doesn't have to be difficult or complacent. Helping people realize their full potential is not just a calling, but an immensely rewarding journey. It fills me with a sense of fulfillment and purpose. That said, we unfortunately live in a society where "burnout" is the norm, often causing our physical and mental health, family, and personal happiness to take a backseat to work. Particularly in the US, a "kill yourself at work" culture is glorified. This is unsustainable, and I've made it my mission to change that.
