Do you feel your work is no longer rewarding or meaningful?
- Do you want to make a pivot in your career but don’t know what to do next?
- Are you ready to make a real change but you lack confidence?
- Do you feel you have blocks or behavior that get in your way? Or an inner critic that is holding you back?

I can relate...
For years I was married to the idea that I needed to be the one thing that I set out to be: an actress. It had been what I had dreamed of for as long as I could remember.
Flash to after 20 years of working in the theater acting, teaching, directing, I was miserable.
I no longer felt passionate. Instead I felt drained and taken for granted. I tried to make changes and found myself wandering through different professions looking for something that fit.
Design thinking got me unstuck
Luckily, I stumbled on the book Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, two professors from the design school at Stanford University.
Using design thinking, they provided a creative and practical framework that helped me get unstuck, get excited again, and connect to a purpose in my work life.
Now I am doing something that I feel absolutely passionate about:

About me
I was always fascinated by lots of different things but in the past, I felt I had to make a choice. Now I identify as a multipotentialite, someone who has a variety of interests and creative pursuits, and I finally feel in my own skin.
But I do have one thing that connects all my passions: creatively working with people in a meaningful journey. Coaching life & career design allows me to do exactly that.
On the other side of my training and coaching business, I work with academics on presentation skills and storytelling for their academic research and with women in academia on coping with pressure in a highly competitive and high-pressure environment.
I hold both a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Masters of Fine Arts in acting. During another turn in my road, I completed a Masters of Arts in Russian. I am also an accredited Transformational Coach through Animas and a certified Designing Your Life Coach.
I love learning languages, travelling, and hearing all about the amazing things that the people I coach do for a living. Currently, I live in Berlin, Germany, but in other times of my life, I’ve called Moscow, Russia and New York, U.S.A. home.
