Hey! So Glad You're Here...

I’m Dr. O, and I’m obsessed with helping young adults thrive! As a mom of two “grownish” young adults and a youth career coach for many years, I understand the struggles of adulting. At age 20, I was a college student, new wife, new mom, in a new country. At 30, I was a newly divorced woman, a new single mom, in college again and looking for a new career. At 40 I had raised two great kids, transitioned to career in workforce development that I love, and hold a master's in HR and a doctorate in business administration. Now that in heading into my 50's I am in a career that I absolutely love, helping my kids navigate young adulthood, taking care of elderly family members, and thinking about the legacy I want to leave behind.

Like many, I spent years figuring out my own life and career path and often wished I had someone in my corner to guide me through the process—someone to help me navigate workplace challenges, make better relationship decisions, deal with loss & grief, and simply offer life advice when I needed it most. That’s why I’m passionate about being that resource for others today.

Whether you’re:

A young adult unsure of your next step,
A new job seeker looking to build essential skills,
A young parent looking for advice on day-to-day life with children,
Or someone just seeking guidance in balancing work and life...

I’m here to help. I offer practical advice, mentorship, and hands-on support to guide you through. I don’t have all the answers. I am still learning, developing, and growing every day. However, my promise to you is that whatever your challenge, I will help you figure it out.
