She worked at local San Diego companies as a Sales and Marketing Manager for the coming years. After questioning a lot of the norms in the corporate world and wanted to make something more meaningful and fulfilling at work, she quit her job. She first went through the inner journey to find out her purpose and passion in life. She moved to US, changed her life completely with no jobs or plans and left everything familiar except her son and her husband, behind. After loving her own journey of finding her passion and purpose, she wanted to act on that feeling she always had inside: touch people in such a way to make their every day lives better. She started her first business (Your Best Life www.yourbestlifeinc.com) in 2003 coaching people find their meaningful work, their strengths, their passion, best careers that match them and their values.

She started her second company (Purposeful Business - www.purposeful.business) in 2010 being passionate about changing the workplace to be better for everyone; clients, employees, leaders and communities. She believes in the power of humanizing the workplace. She is following many amazing organizations who do the right thing for everyone and have amazing bottom lines. She uses a methodology based on emotional intelligence and neuroscience research that has three phases.
