I coach because I’ve experienced firsthand how transformative mentorship can be — especially for those navigating institutions that weren’t built with them in mind. As a law school graduate, federal judicial clerk, and former tech policy employee, I’ve worked across some of the most competitive legal and policy environments. But long before that, I was a first-generation college student from a working-class, Caribbean-American family, who found refuge and possibility in online communities. Over the years, I’ve helped others chart similarly complex paths — from public interest law to BigLaw, clerkships to tech policy. Coaching allows me to pay forward the support I once needed, while offering strategic, honest guidance to clients who are looking to break into competitive spaces or pursue unconventional goals. My approach is thoughtful, individualized, and informed by deep experience in law, government, and the tech sector. Whether you're applying to law school, preparing for a federal clerkship, or considering a pivot, I’ll work with you to build a compelling narrative and a clear strategy — grounded in authenticity, excellence, and long-term vision.

Let’s work together to creatively design your career and life around what really matters to you, so you can thrive, even when everything feels like a dumpster fire. After working for 20+ years in design and leadership, I learned (the hard way) that burnout is persistent. Finding fulfillment and balance in your career is challenging. I became a coach to help people find meaningful careers and their own path towards actually enjoying their lives.
