About

I’ve relocated. Reinvented. Restarted. Not just once but over and over again. I know what it means to leave the familiar behind in search of something better. That’s why I don’t just help people relocate or change jobs. I help them relaunch. Success isn’t about where you go next but who you become when you get there. Over the years, I’ve led recruitment teams across borders, trained 100+ professionals, and helped thousands of candidates navigate significant transitions in life and career. But I’m not in this for the metrics. I’m in it for the moments when someone stops playing small and starts living with conviction. Follow Your Heart ❤️ isn’t just a brand. It’s a way of life. If you’re standing at the edge of change, I’m here to help you leap.

Follow your heart

Founder

  • 📖 About Follow Your Heart
  • We all grew up with stories.
  • Stories shape our decisions, inspire change, and give us courage to move forward.
  • Yet, when it comes to career changes and relocations, too many professionals feel lost, uncertain, or stuck.
  • That’s why I created Follow Your Heart (FYH)
  • a space where professionals share their real stories of:
  • 🔹 Why they took the leap
  • 🔹 How they navigated career transitions & relocation
  • 🔹 What they learned along the way
  • Because a job change or relocation isn’t just about work.
  • It’s about:
  • ✨ Finding the right opportunities in the right places
  • ✨ Creating a life that feels aligned and fulfilling
  • ✨ Overcoming fears and embracing new possibilities
  • Follow Your Heart is more than just a platform.
  • It’s a community of professionals who inspire and support each other in taking bold steps.

EQ & Leadership Ambassador

Aug 2024Present · 1 yr 7 mos · Zurich, Switzerland · Remote

  • I began my leadership journey at 25, an experience that stretched both my professional and personal capabilities. ​My approach has always been to give more than I take, to uplift and empower others, even when they lack belief in ​themselves. Leadership is a lifelong pursuit, filled with sacrifices and emotional challenges.
  • Authentic leadership starts ​with oneself; mastering personal leadership paves the way to effectively leading others. I recommend the leadership ​assessment tool (EQ-LA), built on the foundations of self-awareness and continuous development, to aid in your ​leadership journey.

Wellness Ambassador

Aug 2024Present · 1 yr 7 mos · Zurich, Switzerland · Remote

  • Nearly twenty years ago, at the age of 27, I experienced my first burnout. Caught in the relentless pace of a ‘work hard, play hard’ culture, I didn’t see the signs until it was too late.
  • Burnout was rarely discussed in mainstream circles then, and awareness was limited. This experience taught me that prevention is the best therapy. I now advocate for this burnout assessment tool to help individuals recognise early warning signs and adopt preventive measures to safeguard against burnout.
