FROM FEAR TO FREEDOM:
My Nurse
Anesthetist Journey
In 2015, I made one of the scariest decisions of my life: I packed up everything, moved along with my family 1,000 miles away, to become what I desired more than anything—a Nurse Anesthetist!
I thought I was just pursuing another degree. Turns out, I was stepping into my purpose.
Since then, I’ve launched businesses, founded a nonprofit, and helped others navigate their own bold career shifts.
If you're standing at the edge of something new—scared but ready
— this space was built for you.

Career Transition Coach, CRNA, nonprofit founder, and multi-passionate entrepreneur.
I didn’t follow a straight path—I created one.
I’ve worked as a nursing assistant, surgical tech, ICU nurse—and yes, I hold an engineering technology degree too. I know what it’s like to earn the degrees, stack the certifications, and still feel like something’s missing.
That winding journey led me to nurse anesthesia, entrepreneurship, and launching a national nonprofit. Now, I help purpose-driven professionals—especially nurses and emerging leaders—build bold careers that reflect who they’re becoming, not just what they’ve done.
If you're feeling stuck, unseen, or unsure how to pivot, you're not behind
—you're on the brink.
