Our Services
One-on-one support for navigating humanitarian careers and personal challenges simultaneously
If you're pursuing international humanitarian work while also managing trauma, disability, or other life challenges, I offer peer mentorship grounded in my own journey. This isn't therapy—it's honest conversation from someone who's walked a similar path.
What I offer:
Reality Check Conversations:
What humanitarian aid work actually entails (the hard parts people don't talk about)
Field realities vs. romanticized expectations
Understanding different career pathways (program vs. operations vs. field roles)
Navigating Challenges While Building Careers:
Practices that supported me (that I share, not prescribe)
Connecting you to resources that helped me (Tara Brach, Brené Brown, crisis support)
Creating sustainable rhythms when you're healing and achieving simultaneously
Peer Support:
Processing rejection and setbacks
Managing imposter syndrome in competitive spaces
Finding community and connection
Who this is for:
