My Personal Journey
As a first-generation Albanian-Montenegrin Muslim American woman, my journey has been deeply shaped by cultural expectations around gender roles. I defied these norms by pursuing higher education and discovering my true purpose through personal growth and transformation. My mission is to empower others—women, men, and non-binary individuals—to break free from societal constraints and pursue careers and lives that align with their values.
My Career Journey
With over two decades of experience in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry, I specialize in leadership development, learning, coaching, facilitation, performance consulting, and organizational effectiveness. I believe in helping leaders be their authentic selves, which strengthens trust, fosters connection, and leads to exceeding organizational expectations.
My Why and Why Now
My work is grounded in existential-humanistic psychology, with a focus on purposeful growth, a strengths-based approach, and the pursuit of meaning. This philosophy empowers individuals and organizations to navigate challenges with intention, resilience, and fulfillment. I bring extensive results-driven experience from a global Fortune 500 environment, combining my ability to analyze data and processes for effectiveness with a deep focus on enhancing human behavior.
I am committed to developing individual talent and organizational capability, enabling teams to build trust and achieve meaningful results.
My Credentials
I am committed to my own journey of personal growth and transformation with ongoing education and professional development, allowing me to apply the latest coaching techniques and methods to help empower my clients to fulfill their highest potential.
