About
Alison
Engineer. Analyst. Global nomad. Coach. A career that never followed a straight line — and a life that prepared her for exactly this work.
Credentials
I've lived, worked, and studied as an expat in more than half a dozen countries, including Greece, Spain, the U.K., Afghanistan, and several nations across the Middle East. Having moved over 23 times in my adult life, I've become intimately familiar with reinvention, resilience, and the art of transition.
But my story didn't begin as a global nomad. I was born in the U.S. to two loving, hard-of-hearing parents, growing up at the intersection of the deaf and hearing worlds. Early on, I learned to embrace difference, listen for what isn't said, and navigate communication barriers with patience and curiosity — skills that would later become central to my work as a coach.

"Thriving isn't about blending in perfectly; it's about creating a new version of your life that honours where you came from."
My Coaching Philosophy
Whether you're navigating a major transition or stepping into a new chapter of leadership, I'll help you tap into your strengths, clarify what truly matters, and partner with you as you take bold, achievable steps toward lasting growth.
My work centres on helping you lead yourself — and others — with authenticity, resilience, and purpose. When you align your values and vision with intentional action, you don't just navigate change, you shape it.
At the heart of my coaching is a simple belief: Meaningful growth comes from change, and you have limitless potential to create the future you want.
