Outside of my full-time job I'm a 1:1 career coach for people looking to break into the field, with a focus on those from non-traditional backgrounds. I’m also a Certified Personal Trainer, always busy with too many interests, and really, deeply happy with my life. I hope to be able to help others achieve these things, too. --------------------------------------- ✉️ Contact Instagram:   / marina.wyss   Twitter/X: https://x.com/iammarinawyss TikTok:   / marina_wyss   Leave me a comment here on YouTube!
