When Life Demands More Than One Answer, You Need Someone Who Brings More Than One Skill.

Hey there, I’m Marquel!

It only took a few years in corporate and billable-hour legal practice to realize I cannot be stuck in a box… I have an entrepreneur’s spirit and although it’s been a long process, I’m owning all the facets of me that don’t make sense in a single box. In the process, I’ve realize that the “master generalist” in me is EXACTLY why I’m the person to help you through your complex transitions - whether they involve legal problems, big life decisions, or even sourcing local health practitioners for your symptoms that keep returning.

Now, I’m meeting professionals and everyday people just like you in the daily weeds life throws at us all to help you untangle the mess, one practical step at a time.

In my blog, I talk about it. With my services, I guide you through it.

I knew that the treasures stored away in the family attic were hardly without webs, and critters, and dust… perhaps that’s putting it nicely. The thing about the treasures in the attic, is that they aren't all just physical dust and decay. Some of these things hold memories of their own and have lived many years to tell a story.

Curious Confrontation
Curious Confrontation

The longer I’ve navigated the world, it seems the majority of people would rather stay silent than risk a little feather ruffling. Perhaps it is more of a spectrum than two poles, but being more in the “okay with confrontation” personality types, I’ve struggled for years over why so many shy away from it.
