After an almost 20 year career in higher education wearing multiple hats (student services, career services, academic services) at both public and private institutions in Virginia, USA, I married my now husband and moved cross country to Hood River, Oregon. At that time, low enrollment numbers at the college in our new community initiated a career switch which resulted in me getting licensed to Coach (wellness, life, academic), opened my own coaching business, ElPostel Coaching, become a certified Diabetes Prevention Program facilitator for Providence Hospital, and a certified Mindful Eating Group facilitator. Following another cross country move – this time back to the East Coast (Georgia), I began working remotely for Noom where I supported clients remotely to support their health and wellness goals during COVID. Two years later (in 2022), my husband accepted a job in Qatar and I became a first-time expat. Living in Doha has provided me opportunities to work part-time for Georgetown University (events), become a licensed tour guide, guest blog and edit for Origin Mag Qatar, support the work of Where Women Connect and Mindful Coherence, intern with Q Teacher Supply and QLandD, and volunteer for Qatar Professional Women’s Network (QPWN).
