I left my corporate role to help my clients
After years of working in corporate, I left my lucrative role to follow my passion into entrepreneurship to inspire my clients to find their purpose, accelerate the journey to their future as well as identify and address self-sabotaging beliefs and barriers that hinder them.

My Personal Background
I was born in Greece and immigrated to the United States with my family when I was seven years old. I have overcome many challenges and experienced many victories in life to find and live my purpose.
My husband Bill and I have been married for twenty-four years and together we have a large, blended family consisting of 4 adult children and 13 grandchildren. I also have a 7-year-old Lhaso-poo, Wylie, who is a certified therapy dog and together we volunteer at hospitals, schools, and libraries.
I am a life-long learner, a mixed media artist and a nature lover, taking many long hikes at the McDowell Nature Preserve and in the olive groves on our farm in Greece.
