My Journey
I didn't set out to become a business consultant. I was an educator who loved building systems that worked. When I lost my remote job in France, I had a choice: accept the archaic advice from France Travail or treat the problem like a technical challenge.
I chose the latter. The timeline below shows how I went from classroom teacher to EdTech director to accidentally becoming a leader in launching businesses in France—the fast, lean, and compliant way.
The Builder
My career began in the classroom, but quickly scaled to leadership positions focusing on designing, launching and supporting 1:1 technology initiatives.
The False Start
I fell in love with France (and a French director) during a school trip. I moved here in 2015 with no plan and no job, assuming I'd figure it out. I didn't. I had to retreat to the US to rebuild my career and finances.
Upskilling
Worked at a small college supporting their new 1:1 iPad program. Worked alongside Apple Professional Development Experts learning about change management and training adults. Moved on to be the first Director of Digital Learning for Salem Public Schools, where I managed the strategy and budget to deploy thousands of devices.
The Grind & The Comfort Trap
After a stint in Kuwait (navigating COVID as a tech specialist) and upskilling in instructional design, I returned to France in 2021. This time, I landed a comfortable, high-level online job with a US company. The paycheck was great, but it kept me in an English-speaking bubble. I didn't network. I didn't integrate.
The Wake-Up Call
The email arrived: my "safe" job was gone. Thrown into France Travail unemployment system, I had 2 choices—face a difficult job market with inadequate French skills, or start my own business. Their advice was archaic: PowerPoints from 2005, €10,000 website quotes, months-long timelines. I rejected that reality.
The Breakthrough
Instead of following the slow path, I leaned into my background in tech, instructional design, and startup-mentality. Using AI, Airtable, Stripe, and modern automation, I launched a SASU. Legally registered and operational in 8 days for under €250.
How I Help You
I realized most aspiring entrepreneurs are being held back by outdated gatekeepers. I took the "scrappy" skills I used to build my own student information systems and the strategic mindset from public education, and codified them into the Zero Risk Business Blueprint.
