Transforming challenges into opportunities
Welcome to my world, where the art of coaching intersects with my deep-rooted passion for leadership, positive intelligence, and food science. I am often asked, "Why coaching?" For me, coaching is not just a profession; it's a lifelong commitment to empowering individuals and guiding them beyond their constraints and towards their dreams.
From childhood aspirations of becoming a physician to food engineering, my path unfolded as a university professor. Over a decade immersed in teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring, I discovered immense joy in witnessing the growth and success of those I've had the privilege to guide.

Transforming challenges into opportunities
Welcome to my world, where the art of coaching intersects with my deep-rooted passion for leadership, positive intelligence, and food science. I am often asked, "Why coaching?" For me, coaching is not just a profession; it's a lifelong commitment to empowering individuals and guiding them beyond constraints towards their dreams.
From childhood aspirations of becoming a physician to navigating financial constraints that led me to food engineering, my path unfolded as a university professor. Over a decade immersed in teaching, training, coaching, and mentoring, I discovered immense joy in witnessing the growth and success of those I've had the privilege to guide.
My life's unexpected challenges, from navigating war-torn landscapes to a breast cancer diagnosis, became transformative moments, reshaping my career and instilling resilience. In the crucible of my cancer journey, I made a pivotal decision – to become a certified professional coach. This choice, born out of a desire to help others and combat the isolation of illness, has become a cornerstone of my philosophy. Embracing setbacks as opportunities, I've honed a coaching approach rooted in compassion, authenticity, and empathy.
Navigating academia, particularly for scientists transitioning to management roles, brings unique challenges. My coaching philosophy recognizes this, offering a nuanced approach that combines leadership skills with personal branding.
Embark on a transformative journey with me, where challenges morph into opportunities, and leadership becomes a way of life. Allow me to support you in writing your story with confidence, resilience, and purpose.
