Best Story
One of my most transformative stories unfolded with the revelation that I was conceived through sperm donation. This revelation, arriving in adulthood, cascaded into a profound journey of self-discovery and acceptance. For years, I was silently struggling through insecurities. Unearthing my origins brought clarity – a moment of illumination where puzzling pieces of my identity finally converged into a coherent whole.
This discovery wasn’t just an unraveling of biological truths but an awakening of my inherent intuition. My youth was filled with encounters with narcissistic personalities, experiences that unwittingly sculpted my worldview and self-perception, but this discovery freed me from their grasp. It propelled me into an intimate dance with self-acceptance, where I learned the delicate art of boundary-setting – not as a barricade but as a bridge to authentic connections and self-preservation.
Today, this narrative is not just a personal anecdote but a testament to my belief in the transformative power of self-awareness and growth. It underscores my passion for guiding others along their journeys of self-discovery, aiding them in unraveling the intricate tapestries of their lives to unveil the potent, sometimes concealed, forces that shape their existence.
Every talk, every engagement, is an opportunity to tailor this narrative to the unique contours of my audience’s experiences, creating a shared space of vulnerability, discovery, and triumphant emergence into the liberating landscapes of self-acceptance and empowerment.
Origin Story
At 17, my journey began at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where my passion for Photography and Digital Imaging blossomed. Each click of the shutter was not just capturing moments but weaving the initial threads of an unpredictable and beautiful journey. By the end of my 4-year degree, I had completed three majors: Photography, French, and Art History.
My career path was a tapestry of diverse roles. From producing catalogs to orchestrating interactive events, and even venturing into entrepreneurship with a gym, each experience added depth and texture to my professional portrait. This path was a testament to my adaptability and insatiable curiosity.
Motherhood intertwined gracefully with my professional endeavors, each role enriching the other in a harmonious blend. This dance of roles sculpted my perspective and honed my skills, teaching me the art of balance and resilience.
As a Director of Program Management at Comcast, I drew upon every lesson from my journey. Each experience was a stepping stone, not just for personal evolution but for a profound realization of the unique insights our journeys contribute to our individuality.
Today, as the CEO of CataPoint Consulting, LLC, my rich tapestry of experiences fuels my mission. I am dedicated to guiding others in their professional journeys, empowering them to navigate their paths with confidence. My goal is to help others see that every turn, every choice, and every experience is a vital brushstroke in the magnificent masterpiece of their lives. With CataPoint Consulting, I bring my passion for leadership, coaching, and development to the forefront, aspiring to illuminate paths for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs.
