After a decade in the corporate world, Anna began her coaching journey in 2008, helping others find careers they connected to and could excel at. She moved to the Philippines and China on expat assignments with her husband, had 2 kids, and decided to focus on being a mom while coaching on the side. The family moved to Houston in 2013. Over the years, Anna has met so many other parents, mostly women, who were transitioning from high-powered careers to expat spouse and/or mother. After “opting out” of the workforce for a few years to devote to their children, many of these women were now ready to get back to paid work but found that they felt lost, isolated, and didn’t know where to start.

That's when Anna decided to start Parents Pivot, where she helps parents find careers they love after a career pause. Through 1-on-1 coaching, the THRIVE return to work program for individuals, targeted workshops on resumes, LinkedIn, and salary negotiation, facilitation, return to work programs, and placement services, she helps stay-at-home-parents tackle a lot of those fears and anxieties and position themselves better for the current job market.
