After a decade+ decoding the human element in HR (mostly at a startup where I became fluent in translating 'corporate speak' into actual human code), I embarked on my own jungle-gym adventure. Forget ladders; my not-so-linear path led me to the wonderfully weird intersection of Data Humorist and Career Workout Specialist. Think of me as part Excel whisperer, part mid-career doula. I make numbers tell gripping narratives and help professionals write their next compelling chapter. Here’s how I juggle these two hats: 📊 As a Data Humorist: I believe data shouldn't be dry, dull, or daunting. My mission? To unearth meaningful insights from seemingly mundane numbers and present them with clarity, creativity, and a lot of personality. Exhibit A: My 'Online Grocery Spend' project. Spoiler: I have data-driven proof that my motivation is directly correlated to a specific brand of 'Classic Tomato Chilli' snack. Let's just say I make data relatable. 🏋️‍♀️ As a Career Workout Specialist: Navigating mid-career transitions can feel like an extreme sport. I craft bite-sized, actionable 'Career Workouts' – practical exercises designed for professional women in their 40s ready to flex their career muscles and own their next move. Exhibit B: My 'Career Workouts' E-book series (currently under construction, much like many mid-career plans!). It’s born from my own journey and a passion for helping fellow women at work navigate theirs. Fair Warning: Conversations with me often involve unexpected data metaphors and spreadsheet jokes that might actually make you chuckle.
