MY STORY
 

Redefining Success, Leading with Purpose

In recent years, I’ve entered a new chapter—juggling the care of aging parents, raising children, and leading at a high level. While I’ve experienced significant professional success, the weight of it all often felt overwhelming. It forced me to pause and ask hard questions: What really matters? What version of success am I chasing—and is it mine?

​

For a long time, I believed success meant fulfilling responsibilities, accumulating wealth, and climbing ever higher. But the truth I came to see is this: real fulfillment comes from doing meaningful work with people who share your values. That shift in mindset changed the trajectory of my career—and led me to help others create careers that feel aligned, not just impressive on paper.

​

My entrepreneurial journey started in my twenties when I launched a strategic consulting firm for financial services companies. Those early years were fast-paced and full of learning. But the 2008 financial crisis tested everything. I pivoted the business into a data analytics firm serving asset and wealth management clients—a move that ultimately led to a successful acquisition by a publicly traded company.

​

After the acquisition, I stepped into a global leadership role overseeing divisions including AI and digital. Leading innovation at scale taught me how to balance big vision with execution—how to build systems that grow while staying grounded in impact.

​

After five years in the corporate world, I followed a new calling. I co-founded a value-based primary care practice focused on healthcare equity in underserved Black and Brown communities. By combining data, AI, and community-informed care, we addressed systemic gaps in healthcare. Our work led to another acquisition, where I continue to develop tech-enabled care solutions for Medicare and Medicaid populations.

​

These pivots brought me closer to the work I now do through Coaching Metta. I founded it to support professionals navigating transitions—those moments when the personal and professional collide, and clarity is hard to find. Many of my clients are high-achievers who feel stuck or stretched too thin. They want to stay engaged—but on their terms. I help them get there.
