For much of my life, I would have answered that question by sharing my title or role. I spent more than twenty years as a executive working across Administration, Operations, IT, and HR. I led teams, solved complex problems, managed large scale projects, and navigated constant change.
In 2017, everything I thought I knew about myself was disrupted by a ruptured brain aneurysm. What followed has been a nine year (and counting) recovery journey that required rebuilding my life, my mind and body, and ultimately, redefining who I am from the ground up.
It was in that messy middle, while sitting with questions like “Who am I now?” and “Am I still worthy?” that I discovered my life’s true path.
As I worked to heal, I realized something important - the tools that supported my recovery (a deep dive into neuroscience, the daily practice of emotional regulation, and the work of reclaiming my own agency) were not unique to my experience. These are the very tools EVERYONE needs to navigate the challenges of being human.
Today, I speak, teach, and write about identity, emotional regulation, self-worth, and personal agency.
I use my personal story, my leadership experience, and my understanding of brain-based science to create learning experiences that rooted in story, science, and real life. My work helps people better understand themselves, navigate ongoing change, and grow with intention.
Whether through a speaking engagement, a workshop or training experience, or a book, my focus is always the same:
I provide practical, story driven tools that support resilience, awareness, and forward movement in everyday life.
My work is grounded in three core beliefs:
This is Learning for Everyone: Rooted in Story, Science and the Human Experience - not because life is simple, but because the work of being human is shared.
