Ever felt like you’re doing everything right in your career, but still on the edge of burnout?

Yeah, me too.

I’m Nia. I'm a creator and speaker helping young professionals build fulfilling, sustainable careers without losing themselves in the process.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked across the marketing world, from managing high-profile personal brands agency-side to shaping content strategies in-house. That experience taught me a lot about ambition, burnout, and the messy middle we don’t talk about enough.

So I started sharing it.

In 2022, I began posting on LinkedIn. Not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out in real time.
And somewhere along the way, 20,000+ people decided to come along for the ride.

Since then, I’ve been:

🏆 Awarded Best Breakthrough Marketer (2024) by Passionfruit
✨ Named one of Alt Marketing School’s Top 100 Marketers To Watch (2024)
💬 Featured by Girls In Marketing as a Top Marketer To Follow and as a course contributor (Laying The Foundations for Career & Marketing Success)

Now I help my audience:

→ create habits that actually last
→ rethink success beyond hustle and burnout
→ build careers that align with who they are, not just what they do

If you’re a brand looking to reach ambitious Gen Z professionals, or you're searching for an authentic, relatable voice on career growth and mindset, let’s talk.

Because the best career advice comes from someone still figuring it out 💭
