Approach to coaching and training
As a trained counselor, I have worked with many people across their different life paths. My main interest has always been to accompany them during certain parts of their journeys in order for them to overcome their challenges, find resources to cope with certain situations, and to build their resilience. With my accumulated experiences in multiple academic settings in different countries, I can support my clients to navigate challenging situations throughout their research career. I have collected a variety of ways to help empower my clients, especially international researchers but not limited to those. I truly value working closely with people to support them in realizing their potential.
