As I approach a decade of living in Ireland, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey that brought me here. From my early days as a security guard to transitioning into recruitment across healthcare, banking, and IT, every step has been a lesson in resilience, adaptation, and the power of community.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my journey has been the opportunity to help others navigate their own paths. Whether through career coaching, mentorship, or sharing my experiences, I’ve been fortunate to support many individuals in building their lives in Ireland.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of being invited to speak and share my story at various platforms, including:
🎤 EPIC Program – Supporting immigrants in building successful careers
🏳️🌈 Outhouse – Discussing diversity and inclusion in job interviews
🏫 Schools & Career Readiness Programs – Empowering students and professionals

Most recently, I was honored to help deliver a class at BRIA – Brazil Ireland Association’s Career Readiness Program, guiding professionals and career changers in shaping their futures in Ireland.
And today, I had the incredible opportunity to share my journey and discuss my book on the Edu Scandaroli Irlanda Talk Show 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dZ8Fh3xe
Each of these experiences has reinforced my belief that growth is not just about personal success but also about uplifting those around us.
Being part of the community and giving back is more than a responsibility—it’s an honor that I take seriously and cherish deeply.
✨ To those navigating their own paths: keep learning, keep growing, and always extend a hand to those who need it.
