I am a Harvard-educated Wharton MBA graduate with more than seven years of industry experience and over three decades of life experience. My roots are in a vibrant, predominantly Haitian community in NYC. Being the first in my family to graduate from college and earn a master's degree, I navigated many of life’s ups and downs with the invaluable support of mentors, friends, and even kind strangers. I am deeply grateful for their guidance. Having worked at prestigious firms like Salesforce, Uber, and Accenture, I have cultivated a rich blend of professional knowledge and personal insight. I am thrilled to leverage this background to help you identify what truly matters to you and to live a life aligned with those values. I am excited to be part of your journey and look forward to helping you navigate your path to success.

I am an Integral Coaching. What this means is, I work with my clients at the level of the “root cause.” So instead of just being focused on the What and How, we go deep on the Who and it's through that lens we make progress together. I support my clients to connect more fully to their overall life purpose and trajectory, while taking steps to resolve whatever is the most pressing need or opportunity. In addition, I: - View each of my clients as an integrated whole: one who is shaped by their history, circumstances, relationships, and environment - Support my clients in living in a more integrated way: bringing our full selves to every part of life, opening up possibilities, driving sustainable change, and experiencing more fulfillment as a result - Believe development happens not only through insight but through integrating those insights into our bodies with practices, including meditation and movement This approach is based on my training with the New Ventures West Integral Coaching methodology that integrates teachings of many movements, traditions, fields of study, and people.

Success isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter and designing a life that aligns with your strengths. Whether you want to build new skills, create financial flexibility, or start your own business without unnecessary risk, the key is leveraging what you already have in a way that maximizes opportunity. Too often, people chase careers that leave them overworked and unfulfilled because they follow traditional paths instead of creating their own. The right skills—strategic thinking, adaptability, and financial literacy—can give you the freedom to choose how you work and live rather than being stuck in a cycle of chasing promotions or paychecks. The biggest shift isn’t external—it’s how you think about success. Fear, imposter syndrome, and a rigid idea of what’s “practical” hold most people back more than actual obstacles. Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to mean taking huge risks or sacrificing stability. With the right mindset and approach, you can build income streams, transition into work that excites you, and create a career that’s truly yours. I help people make these shifts—not just by offering advice, but by sharing lived strategies from my own life for designing a career and lifestyle that are both fulfilling and financially secure. If you’re ready to rethink success and take control of your future, let’s connect. Why I think my lived experiences are relevant here: I’ve built Moonshot, a profitable, bootstrapped six-figure business, gaining full financial autonomy, and launched Starscape, advising Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed healthcare startups on AI-driven strategy. I’m also a Venture Partner at Heinz Ventures LLC, investing in and guiding the next generation of healthtech startups. I'm only able to do all this as I've decoupled how I spend my time vs. how I earn money. I want to help you achieve the same freedom and success.
