“Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.” – Michael Forbes
I didn’t have a big plan or a fancy start. My career began scrubbing floors in a restaurant while working as an Au Pair in Germany. I didn’t know where things were going—but I kept showing up, doing my best, and staying open to what came next.
That mindset helped me go from being a care assistant in a nursing home to working at Airbnb. I picked up German along the way, and somehow that small decision opened a big door. From there, I kept leaning into things I didn’t feel 100% ready for—learning how to analyse data, improve quality, and lead teams. Not because I had it all figured out, but because I was willing to try.
Still, hard work didn’t always pay off the way I thought it would. The turning point came when I was passed over for a promotion. I was told, “Nobody knows who you are.” That hurt—but it taught me something that changed how I work. It’s not just about doing good work. It’s about being seen, building relationships, and learning to back yourself.
Since then, I’ve been more intentional—about what I say yes to, how I show up, and how I help others grow too.
Why am I sharing this? Because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, lost, or like everyone else got a roadmap you somehow missed. I’ve been there. And now, I help others navigate those messy middle moments in their careers—whether it’s figuring out what’s next, building confidence, or learning how to be seen for what they truly bring to the table.
TL;DR: You don’t need to have it all together. You just need the right support and a bit of space to figure it out. I’m here for that.
Let’s take it one honest step at a time.
