My story

Life is filled with ebbs and flows—crucial pivots that shape who we become.

At every crossroads, we’re given the opportunity to choose growth over comfort, purpose over predictability. My journey has been defined by five pivotal moments—each one pulling me closer to the work I do today: helping others navigate the transitions that will lead them to their best, most aligned life.

Pivot 1: Leaving Home Without Looking Back

Fresh out of high school, I packed my bags and left my small rural town in Alabama, headed to Madison, Wisconsin for a summer internship. It was my first time that far from home—and everything was new. New region. New culture. New expectations. But I adjusted quickly. That first leap taught me what it meant to be independent and adaptable, even when nothing around me felt familiar. That was just the beginning.

Pivot 2: from intern to academic trailblazer

After interning, I transitioned into college life—worlds apart from my high school graduating class of just 87 students. I began my academic journey in chemistry, eventually earning a bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate in the field. I wasn’t just learning formulas—I was learning perseverance, discipline, and how to thrive in new spaces

Pivot 3: 20 Years in the lab-and then, a bold exit

Upon completing my studies, I entered federal service as a regulatory chemist—a career I would dedicate over two decades to. But even with a stable government job, something inside me knew it was time for a shift. I left it all behind to start over in a completely new industry: real estate. No experience. No connections. No guarantees. Just faith and the willingness to learn.

Pivot 4: becoming my own boss

Success found me in real estate—and soon, I was ready for more. I launched my own mortgage brokerage, stepping into entrepreneurship full-time. That business became the first of many, and I discovered my passion for building not just wealth, but legacy—for myself and others.

Pivot 5: helping others make their move

Now, I stand as a Transition Coach, speaker, and business mentor—helping others face their own pivots with clarity and courage. I specialize in guiding high achievers, career changers, and purpose-driven professionals as they navigate the space between where they are and where they’re called to be.

Because when life shifts, you don’t have to sink—you can soar.

I’m living proof that it’s never too late to pivot boldly, embrace reinvention, and pursue the life you were always meant to live.
