What I offer
With 6+ years in tech start-ups, I've built departments from scratch, led teams, and developed expertise in strategy, customer success, project management, and marketing. Now, I've built a portfolio career operating at the intersection of the future of work, tech and navigating change - combining systems thinking with writing, mentoring, and fractional or project work.

Portfolio Career Mentoring
I support people in transitioning from jobs into portfolio careers. Using my own framework and lived experience, I help navigate the practical and psychological shift to design an intentional way of working and living.
What it is
A portfolio career is an intentionally designed mix of work and income streams built around your passions and strengths that evolves with your life.
Who it is for
You might still be employed but curious, freshly quit, or somewhere in the early stages of building your portfolio career.
How it works
A multi-session 1:1 process to help you transition into a self-designed portfolio career. You'll get clarity, an action plan, and hands-on support.
What others say
"I think these kinds of transitions can be really tricky and having someone like you to support throughout is invaluable."
Self-paced workbook
The Vision Workbook.
A self-paced workbook to help you figure out what's next. "I wouldn't know what else to do" is one of the main reasons people stay in jobs that don't fit. When you do leave, your sense of direction tends to go with it, and rebuilding it is the foundational work of any portfolio career. This workbook walks you through that work at your own pace, with exercises drawn from how I work with mentees on the Vision pillar and a worked example to follow.
01
What it is
A 17-page PDF and a duplicatable Notion template, focused on the Vision pillar.
02
Who it is for
People still in a job but curious, freshly quit and figuring it out, or in the early stages of building a portfolio career.
03
How it works
Self-paced exercises with a worked example to follow. Read the PDF once, then work through the Notion template at your own rhythm.
04
What you'll have
A first vision, your own guiding principles, and a small set of low-stakes experiments to start testing in real life.
