My journey began on New Year's Day 1968 in Russian-occupied Eastern Germany. Life behind the Iron Curtain was bleak, with severe restrictions and constant surveillance. Despite the oppressive environment, I held on to my dreams of freedom and a better life.
At 16, my family and I were released to Western Germany, five years before the Berlin Wall fell. Adjusting to a new, free-thinking society was challenging, but I persevered, finished high school, and earned a degree in Social Education, focusing on rehabilitation for those with disabilities. At 27, I made the bold decision to move to the Pacific Northwest. This move gave me the opportunity to live and create my life on my terms. Despite the initial challenges, it led me to a fulfilling 15-year career in real estate and allowed me to build the amazing life I always dreamed of. America is truly a land of opportunity, and I’m grateful I toughed it out. |

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — as a Social Educator, Real Estate Agent, Team Leader, First Mate and Chef De Cuisine on our own charter yacht, and now as a Certified Professional Coach, Author and Speaker. I guide women, professionals, entrepreneurs, and young adults to unlock their potential and chart their own paths to success. My bestselling book, "Break Loose and Fly - 10 Practical Tools For Mastering Life's Challenges and Creating A Life You'll Love," is a testament to my passion for empowering others to overcome life’s challenges and live their best lives.

As a speaker, I share my insights, experiences, failures, and triumphs with diverse audiences, inspiring them to embrace their unique journeys. My certification as a personal chef is the cherry on top, because who doesn’t love a good meal after a hard day’s work?
Currently, I split my time between the East and West Coasts, with a cozy spot in Germany to boot. When I'm not speaking at events, coaching, or indulging my culinary passion, I’m exploring nature’s wonders and embarking on outdoor adventures. I firmly believe in the values of family, integrity, kindness, compassion, and non-judgment. These principles guide me in both my personal and professional life.
In essence, I’m not just a coach, speaker, or author; I’m a passionate advocate for personal growth. I’m about rolling up my sleeves, getting my hands dirty, and making things happen. If you want to make things happen in your life, let’s connect and tackle your goals together.
