About
I work at the intersection of people and machines. I studied cognitive science and computer science — and now work with individuals to create better lives leveraging technology to do so. I also work at the intersection of your career and your overall life. Career is such a fundamental pillar to life: you spend 40-80 hours a week at work — even more when you think about the amount of time thinking about work! It's so critical that you both enjoy what you are doing as well as feel fulfilled by it.
I got turned onto this area when I was working at Amazon and Google. There, I saw brilliant people, many of whom were unhappy. Yet, they were so capable — of doing anything they wanted. In my experience, both personal and via mentoring, managing and coaching, people's full potential only get unlocked when you are doing something you are good at, enjoy, and that the market needs.
I work with my clients to create a life that fulfills all three of those criteria. The work that we do together in your career has benefits to other areas of life overall. I often hear from my clients how their relationships improve, in romance and family; and how their overall stress levels decrease. My mission in life is to help people fully express their potential — and to have an amazing life while doing so!
