ABOUT ME
I’m a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, a speaker, and a leadership & AI coach committed to unlocking the potential of young people.
I believe life is about discovering who you are, understanding why you're here, and having the courage to live that purpose fully. This journey is not shaped by knowledge alone, but through experience, mistakes, resilience, and continuous learning.
What I now know for certain is this: adaptability and the ability to grow stronger through setbacks — in other words, resilience — is a leadership skill that can be learned.
My mission is to help young people, especially those aged 16 to 25, recognize their inner strength and move forward in life with clarity and confidence.
My goal isn't just to inspire courage — I also want to help them understand and use artificial intelligence, the language of the future, so they can carve their own path and make a meaningful impact with this powerful tool.
Because leadership today is no longer just about vision. It’s about thinking with data, creating with technology, and daring with entrepreneurial courage.
I see myself as a lifelong learner — someone who chooses growth, learning, and transformation with every step.
And today, I no longer want to walk this path alone.
"Let’s take this journey together — because the future belongs to those who dare to learn."
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
Every great transformation begins with a small step taken in courage. Sometimes that step is a decision, sometimes an insight — and sometimes, it’s simply a question from within:
“What do I truly want?”
I walk alongside young people and their parents, who are brave enough to explore this question. I work primarily with youth between the ages of 16 and 25 — both one-on-one and in groups — to help them build confidence, emotional resilience, communication, and collaboration skills. These essential life and leadership competencies are developed through a personalized, structured "Growth Plan" that breaks big goals into small, actionable steps.
Leadership today is no longer just about inspiration. It’s about thinking in data, creating with technology, and acting with entrepreneurial courage. That’s why my work with young people goes beyond personal development — I also guide them in AI literacy, cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, and producing content that reflects their unique voice. They learn how to actively use AI tools and gain the skills they need to turn their ideas into real, impactful projects.
Self-awareness is the foundation of this entire journey. Through DISC Profile Analysis, I help both young people and their parents understand their personality traits, strengths, and growth areas. This clarity enables each person to design a development path that aligns with their true character and potential.
I also work directly with parents — because a young person’s healthy development is only possible with an engaged, understanding, and supportive parent by their side. In my parent coaching sessions, I offer guidance on how to build stronger connections, develop a shared language, and grow together.
I believe every individual carries an innate leadership potential. With the right support and a committed guide, that potential can unfold. And I’m here to walk this path with you — to help map out the journey and take each step with clarity and purpose.
Group Coaching instills in young people a strong sense of leadership and responsibility through interactive activities and actionable actions in everyday life. Small groups provide real relationships, an intimate learning environment, and the opportunity to lead among peers.
