**Tell us a bit about yourself! How did you get started with your current career path/business journey?**

After enduring two instances of verbal and sexual harassment in corporate, I left to begin my business as a Career Transition Coach, helping people transition industries and out of toxic work cultures.

**What behavior or personality trait do you most attribute your success to, and why?**

I always say you have to have grit to be an entrepreneur. You have to have perseverance!

**What’s a mistake you made early on in your career, or in your business, and what did you learn from it?**

Not outsourcing - hiring a VA was the best decision! Hire AND trust the expert - they know how to help you get things done much quicker - it's not worth it to stay up until 2 am doing tasks you don't have time for and don't like doing.

**What’s one professional skill you’re currently working on?**

Scaling - working smarter, not harder!

**How do you invite others to take a seat at the table?**

Conversations around change - toxic work cultures, the need for 3rd party HR..oh & I'm always down for a LinkedIn Strategy Session - my other expertise is LinkedIn Marketing for SMBs.

**What is one thing you wish you knew a year ago?**

The door to Entrepreneurship is open to everyone, it's those who take it that know what's on the other side of corporate.

**What impact has Luminary made in your career? eg: Business Generated, Revenue, New Clients, Career Connections, Advancement Opportunities** 

Luminary has been a light - I needed a place that I felt aligned with and I'm looking forward to joining the community here!
