The Story

My Career Path

My career path hasn’t been a straight line. I began with a passion for creativity and analysis, spent nearly a decade in consulting, and navigated roles that didn’t fully match my strengths. Experiencing layoffs and pivots firsthand taught me how destabilizing career uncertainty can be—and how life-changing clarity is.
Returning to my own Rockport Pathfinder assessment results and remembering my MBTI type (INFP) reminded me where I thrive: at the intersection of creativity, analysis, and human connection.

Abivi (Latin for ‘Let’s Go’) was born from the insight that meaningful careers require clarity. We guide students, young adults, and professionals using best-practice assessments, personalized coaching, and lessons learned from real-world experience.
