Your Social Impact Journey Starts Here

Everyone has a role to play in creating social impact—whether big or small. With so many challenges in our communities and the world, it’s natural to want to make a difference. But knowing where to start or how to navigate your path can be overwhelming.

Maybe you're already engaged in social impact work but need guidance on your next steps. Or perhaps you're eager to start your journey but unsure of what to do. That’s where I come in. I’m a down-to-earth coach who understands the wide range of social
impact roles and can help you find your place.


Who I Work With

I work with purpose-driven people who want to create social impact—whether that’s through volunteering, their career, running a mission-driven business, or donating and investing in causes they care about.

No matter how you choose to make a difference, I help you find clarity, direction, and the next right steps to align your impact with your values.

How It Works

Our first session is all about you. We’ll explore your story, your passions, and your thoughts on impact. You’ll have space to ask questions, share frustrations, and focus on defining your journey. I’ll also introduce you to different social impact pathways and provide a short questionnaire to help guide our conversation. Together, we’ll discuss practical next steps and potential opportunities that align with your interests and skills.

After our session, I’ll send you three specific, actionable options to explore—along with additional insights on how to maximize your impact. If any of the options don’t quite fit, we’ll refine them through email communication.

For ongoing support, I offer 30-minute follow-up calls as needed.

Let’s work together to shape your social impact journey in a way that’s meaningful and doable. Ready to get started?
