I’m an aspiring author, course-creator-in-training, and coach-in-the-making — basically someone in the thick of chasing a big life pivot with a stubborn mix of curiosity, caffeine, and sarcasm.

I’m also turning 50 this year, which sounds wild to say out loud because mentally I’m still somewhere between “should I dye my hair teal?” and “do I really need a retirement plan?” (Spoiler: yes. Yes, I do.)

Right now? I’m still working a “stable” job (you know, the kind that slowly chips away at your soul while pretending to offer security). But something clicked — and I decided it was finally time to stop waiting and actually go after the life I want.

Yes, I’ve got a master’s degree in accounting — so if you need help with spreadsheets, I’m your person. But writing books, building a personal brand, and helping people rewrite their stories? That’s a whole new world for me — and I’m here for it.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve got a notebook full of scribbles, a growing list of “well, that method didn’t work” moments, and the kind of determination that comes when you realize time is too short to stay stuck.

Also? I don’t drink coffee. I run on Mexican Coke — the kind in glass bottles with real sugar, because that’s how I roll.

Claim Your Chapter isn’t about pretending I’ve arrived. It’s about sharing the messy, hopeful, sarcastic journey of figuring out what’s next — and helping you believe that you can, too.
