General
About
My Vision: I am making a positive impact on other people and their lives. I contribute to the betterment of my community and my world. I spend my time in the realm of Possibility and serve as a beacon for others who have lost their way.
I was first educated as a Computer Engineer, and I have spent the years since achieving my Bachelor’s Degree working in telecommunications, information technology and product safety. In the past decade I have also taught and mentored ESL Speaking professionals.
The journey I have been through in the past decade led me to discover that I am meant to be a Life Coach. I began mentoring under a credentialed Life Coach December 2011, and I am now in a 12-month, ICF Accredited Life Coach Training Program.
In July 2011 I launched a Life Coaching Practice, based in Campbell River, with the intention of bringing prosperity to my home community.
Are you interested in a once-and-for-all shift in a particular area of your life?
