Career Coaching, Events, and Resources

With over a decade of experience in career development, I have guided 1000+ individuals to successfully navigate their professional journeys. As the Founder of worklifecircle, I create spaces for meaningful connections and personal growth, while my roles at NYU, Dartmouth and USC have honed my skills in career coaching and program development. My double master's in Clinical Social Work and Applied Positive Psychology allows me to integrate evidence-based strategies into my coaching, ensuring a holistic approach to career success. I love working with high-octane individuals who are in a place of transition.

I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate major transitions - both chosen and unexpected. Over the years, I’ve moved from consulting into big tech, shifted from sales operations to product operations, and eventually into product management and co-founding my own company. I’ve also experienced the challenges of burnout, uncertainty, and identity shifts that come with leaving behind one version of yourself to step into another. Having worked in both the USA and Brazil, and studied in France and Singapore, I bring a global perspective that helps me connect with clients from diverse backgrounds who are navigating their own turning points. What I’ve learned is that career and life transitions aren’t just about skills or strategy - they’re about aligning with what truly matters to you. Whether you’re moving from corporate to startup, shifting industries, or rethinking your path entirely, I can help you explore the deeper patterns and beliefs driving your choices, while also mapping out concrete steps forward. My own journey across countries, industries, and roles taught me how to navigate ambiguity with clarity and resilience - and I now bring that same support to clients ready to create meaningful change in their own lives.

Career transitions are exciting, but they can also feel overwhelming and uncertain. I’ve navigated a few myself—moving from consulting to startups, from corporate to mission-driven work—and I know how challenging it is to reframe your experiences for something new. The good news? The skills and stories you already have are often more transferable than you think. As a coach, I help you get clear on your goals, position your experiences effectively, and build a personal narrative that resonates with hiring managers. Together, we’ll work on the practical side—resumes, LinkedIn profiles, networking strategies, interview prep—while also focusing on the bigger picture: what you want, why it matters, and how to get there. I particularly love working with professionals who feel “stuck” in their current role or unsure about what comes next. My goal is to bring both strategy and encouragement so you walk away with a plan that feels not only achievable, but energizing.
