meet our founder

Cristina Jerome founded off worque after being burnt out by working 10 years in the social media marketing space. Bouncing from industries like beauty, music, tv/film, spirits and more in a short term of 4 years IS exhausting and she realized that unless she took control of her own mental wellbeing, she may not be here to enjoy the fruits of her labor. After a stressful week of work, she took PTO for a week and just tried new hobbies. Tennis, pottery classes, running clubs and more turned into a reason to feel alive again and the next week, she quit her job to fully focus on burnout relief , time management, life coaching and wellness events for her peers through off worque. 

everyone deserves a day off worque.
