Chapters Of My Journey
Embarking on a winding journey through four diverse careers before hitting 40, I've transitioned from the world of fashion to tech, ultimately landing as a creative entrepreneur. Each chapter in my story unfolds with its highs and lows, paving the way for the consultant and coach I am today.
Fashion Chapter 1: My journey began in retail fashion in Brantford, Ontario. Schooling in fashion and design in Toronto led me to Montreal, where I worked at the head offices of two major Canadian fashion companies. After a decade, I recognized the toxicity of the industry and decided it was time for a change.
Creative Entrepreneur Chapter 2: Seeking an escape from the fashion world, I ventured into creative entrepreneurship. Launching community experiences and pop-up shops in Toronto, I eventually quit my job to pursue the dream of becoming a full-time creative entrepreneur.
Tech Chapter 3: Little did I know, my entrepreneurial days were preparing me for a new role. A tech startup seeking help in community building caught my attention, leading to eight years of transforming the startup into one of Canada's largest tech companies. Through loads of experience, I became a seasoned Brand Marketer.
Burnout Chapter 4: After years of back-to-back projects, the pandemic forced a pause. Recognizing burnout, I left the tech world at the end of 2021. I was investing in myself and taking an intentional healing and rest journey during my time off birthed "Re-Work," a movement focused on redefining our relationship with work and productivity Co-Founded with Chantaie Allick.

Years of mentorship laid the foundation for my coaching practice, aiming to guide individuals toward their goals with unwavering support.
