Empower you

1:1 Coaching

Are you ready to create the career or life you've always wanted—but something is always holding you back?

Are you ready to make a career pivot to do what you're meant to contribute in this lifetime—but the narratives engrained from your upbringing as a child of immigrants trigger recurring fears of failure and scarcity?

Are you ready to carve your own path in the world—but social pressures and norms keep you within your comfort zone?

If any of these thoughts sound familiar to you, you're not alone.

As a child of immigrants and a first-generation working professional who has taken three career breaks and changed jobs multiple times, I've sought the same answers to those questions.

You are ready to take that next step to creating the life you've always envisioned. I see you.

I'm here to help you see it for yourself. Through our coaching sessions, I can help you:

• Let go of childhood narratives or social expectations that do not serve you in this journey

• Shift your mindset and build your confidence to create the life you've envisioned

• Proactively map the actions to steadily build your vision in the physical world

I'm Not Creative, Everyone Says

“I’m not creative”, everyone says. You don’t have to be an artist to tap into your creativity. Creativity is a mindset and process.

In this 30-min interactive webinar presented at Slalom City Limits (an internal learning festival), I shared tips and tools for anyone to get into a creative mindset for any project. In the end, you'll:

• Change your mind about what creativity means.

• Learn how to get into a creative mindset and use tools to drive the process.

Moral of the story: anyone can be creative!

Learning Experience Design 101

I led the creation and management of Slalom's Learning Experience Design 101 course, a blended series on the foundational skills of learning design. I partnered with fellow designer, Kim Peterson, to build out the content, and the rest of the LXD team to facilitate and run the pilot.

Learners complete three self-directed lessons and a project of their choice. Additional resources included office hours, a community site to connect with other learners, and optional instructor-led sessions.

The impact? The course is now used to onboard new team members on Talent Management, and rolled out to all of Slalom to bring LXD thinking and skills to client work.

The self-directed lessons were developed in Articulate Rise and featured walkthrough videos, interactive widgets, and short activities that applied to their project.

Startup Weekend Education

Startup Education Weekend is a weekend long event in which teams solve a problem in education within 54 hours.

I loved my experience as a participant, that I returned to volunteer as the marketing coordinator for the 2018 event. I created graphics, interviewed past participants, and shared social media posts during the weekend to raise awareness of the event.

We had a total of 52 pitches, 13 teams, 5 pitches, and in the end 1 winner (Come Unity: an app to match students to high quality & personalized volunteer opportunities with non-profits).

SWEDU stories featured interviews I did with past participants, Domonique Meeks and Vinny Pasceri, as part of the event's marketing.
