I am a personal development and a transformational career coach. I help ambitious men and women rewire their mindset, discover their purpose, and find fulfillment in their lives.

For most of my life, I struggled with figuring out what I wanted to do vs. what I thought I SHOULD do. I was living by someone else's rules and what society "deemed" successful. Although I always felt a bit unconventional, my career began in the corporate world and has included sales, marketing, and business consulting. I always had one foot in corporate [to appease my fears and financial goals] and one foot in some creative/educational endeavor [to appease my passion and purpose], but after years of missing something and feeling off, I decided to take the leap into self-employment and living life on MY own terms.

When I turned my passion into profit and launched my personal branding photography business and freed myself from the 9-5 world, I met so many other people feeling unhappy and unfulfilled in their career but remaining stuck in their comfort zone. I felt immediately drawn to inspiring others to take RISKS, explore living COURAGEOUSLY, and to live life for THEMSELVES! I find playing to your strengths and taking risks will make you happier in the long run. This is when all of the dots began to connect for me; my experiences and skills set me up to be exactly where I was supposed to be.

More about me: I have a Master’s degree in Sociology & Qualitative Research from the University of Chicago, I completed the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training, and I remain a lifelong teacher and student. I've worked to improve the lives of people for the past 10 years, including leading emotional intelligence workshops and mentoring youth in underserved communities. I'd like to say I have a knack and innate skill for connecting with people, seeing what you cannot see in yourself, and empathizing with the human experience. I love to travel, also work as a freelance photographer, and am super passionate about social justice.
