Description: "If your career or business does not fit who you are or your lifestyle of choice, can it really be called successful?"
I am a career, business and personal branding strategist and the founder of Career By Choice. I help expat professionals and entrepreneurs use their personal brand to customize a career or business that fits who they are and their lifestyle of choice.
Having self-designed a rewarding career and business that supports my choice of international living, I take an entrepreneurial approach to fellow expats find the same flexibility and freedom in their work that I enjoy. My strengths lie in my ability to quickly identify needs, move beyond 'either/or' thinking, and translate vision into action. My creative, strategic and supportive style helps me to empower others to leverage their strengths, explore possibilities and make choices that work for them.
I am one of the first 100 certified personal branding strategists in the world and a certified career coach. I draw from over 15 years of experience in career development, business development and international education and training. I have worked with professionals and entrepreneurs all over the world, having been to over 20 countries to live, work or play. I have designed, managed and evaluated USAID small business training programs for entrepreneurs from Africa, Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. I have also designed and managed career development and recruitment programs for university students and alumni from across the globe. One of my most satisfying professional experiences was working with individuals and communities in the U.S. and Africa facing challenges as a result of HIV and AIDS.
Founding Career By Choice allowed me to combine my expertise in strategic career and business development and my experience and passion for helping others to overcome challenges to improve the quality of their personal and professional lives.
Specifically, I help expat professionals and entrepreneurs:
• Create a clear vision of a career or business aligned with who they are and their lifestyle of choice - and a strategic plan to make that vision a reality
• Discover their personal brand and effectively communicate their unique value to the right employers or clients
• Create a professional marketing plan and transform their resume, CV, professional bio, promotional materials and online identity to reach those who need what they offer most
• Implement tools, resources and strategies for long-term professional and business success
When I am not being of service to my clients, I enjoy modern art, independent film, international travel, vipassana meditation and a caffè macchiato to start my day.
My brand attributes are passionate, entrepreneurial, creative, adventurous, supportive, loyal and committed to excellence.
