I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people thrive—how we learn, grow, and connect in ways that shape our careers and lives. My own journey has been anything but linear. With a Master’s in Microbiology, I started in the classroom, teaching high school students and fostering a love for learning. That passion for development led me to public health administration, where I supported global programs and helped professionals step into their purpose. I continued and found my way into human resources and leadership coaching, a space where I could directly empower individuals and teams to invest in their strengths and drive meaningful impact.
As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach and founder of BABI Strategies LLC, I help professionals gain clarity, build confidence, and align their strengths with their goals. Whether through 1:1 coaching, HR consulting, or leadership development, my focus is on creating strategic growth opportunities—for individuals navigating career transitions, teams striving for collaboration, and organizations looking to cultivate a strengths-based culture.

My personal Top 10 CliftonStrengths (Unique to each individual)
I believe in full transparency—if I’m going to ask about your joys, strengths, and passions, it’s only fair that I share mine as well. And honestly? I love my CliftonStrengths and how I invest in them.
While CliftonStrengths isn’t a requirement for all types of coaching, it has personally given me invaluable insights into how I approach challenges and pursue both professional and personal goals. By understanding what I naturally do well, I’ve been able to work more intentionally, stay motivated, and celebrate progress along the way.
While I show my strengths to the left, please know that many begin by focusing on their Top 5 strengths before expanding into their Top 10, uncovering even more about what energizes them and where they thrive. Below are a few highlights of how some of my own strengths have influenced my journey.
Ways my top strengths show up for me personally:
This strength is at the core of who I am—I take ownership of my commitments and ensure that my word is true, whether in personal or professional settings. If I make a promise, I keep it. Deadlines are met, follow-through is guaranteed, and people know they can rely on me. The challenge has been recognizing my capacity before taking on more and learning to lean into support when needed. Just as I honor my commitments to others, I’ve also worked on keeping my word to myself, ensuring that I invest in my own growth with the same dedication.
I thrive in deep thinking and meaningful reflection. As someone who naturally processes information before taking action, I seek out time to analyze, question, and refine ideas to ensure well-thought-out decisions. Whether tackling complex challenges in HR strategy, coaching individuals through their strengths, or designing learning initiatives, my Intellection allows me to approach situations with depth, curiosity, and intentionality. I enjoy engaging in thought-provoking discussions, synthesizing information, and uncovering insights that lead to impactful solutions.
I have always seen the world as an intricate web, where every experience, challenge, and encounter is part of something greater. My Connectedness helps me recognize that nothing happens in isolation—there is meaning in every path taken, every pivot, and even in the moments that seem uncertain.
Professionally, this has shaped my journey in ways I never could have planned, yet looking back, I see the clear thread that ties it all together. From earning a master’s in microbiology to teaching high school, stepping into public health administration, growing in human resources, and now coaching professionals—each step has deepened my ability to support and guide others. Every role has reinforced my belief that our strengths, experiences, and even struggles are leading us somewhere important.
Personally, Connectedness is just as present. As a child of immigrants, I’ve navigated change, resilience, and the beauty of bridging different cultures. Through my own health journey, I’ve learned to embrace both uncertainty and trust in the process. Even in something as simple as baking, there’s a rhythm and science behind it—just like life. And when I randomly bump into a stranger at the store, I don’t see it as coincidence; I know that, in some small way, we were meant to cross paths.
This strength allows me to help others see the bigger picture—to step back from the noise, find meaning in their experiences, and recognize how their strengths connect to something greater. Whether working with individuals or teams, my goal is always to help people lean into their talents with confidence, knowing they are exactly where they need to be to grow, impact, and thrive.
Each of us has a unique way of thinking, executing, building relationships, influencing and more.
Without realizing it, our strengths shape us more than we may realize.
