In my personal life, I am a mom of two adults (lady and gent) who have given me four beautiful grandkids, making me a grandmom. I am blessed with a very large family of brothers and sisters and intimate friends who became family too: cheering one another, laugh together and cry together. Since I was born and raised in Suriname (South America) with a very rich and divers culture because of our history, I am a cultural admirer.
In my professional life, I am an empowerment advocate, in the role of personal and professional development coach and conservation enthusiast with over thirty years of experience in a variety of industries with over three decades of diverse experience across different industries. This led to founding Leadership Refocused.
I have been an educator and HR Manager for years, till June 2023. For the past 3 years I have been coaching individuals in their personal and professional development, of which many of them women.
Since July 2023, I started my own coaching business. I am dedicated to empowering leaders, with a bigger focus on women.
