HI,
beautiful soul

It feels amazing to win, and bittersweet when that comes with a struggle. I’ve overcome significant work, health and personal challenges that have allowed me to shine, see new heights and truly enjoy the ride.

I was born almost legally blind, with a “lazy” eye. It wasn't until I was two years old that I fully saw the world for the first time, and not until I was eight that I could fully see with both eyes. I also faced bullying and severe childhood trauma. 

Despite these experiences, I excelled in grade school, college and beyond. I sailed competitively and won multiple championships. In my early career, I led and worked with executives. I went on to lead a high-growth technology start up as an executive and served on boards. But beneath the surface, I believed that relentless achievement and working 80+ hour weeks were the only keys to success, burying my trauma and neglecting my core needs.

Eventually, I was forced to stop with an unexpected health issue that landed me in the hospital. This event allowed me to see my whole self and what mattered to me. During this transformative time, I realized I could fuel my success in a different way. 

I embraced my challenges and imperfections, recognizing them as gifts that not only could unlock success but could drive me even further, helping me harness my potential in a new, more powerful and sustainable way.

THROUGH THIS INNER
transformational WORK,
I ALLOWED MY TRUE SELF
TO RISE AND SHINE.

Now, I'm here to help you realize your highest potential as a leader. I’ll help you awaken the best version of you, fully activate your strengths, and soar well beyond your successes in a soulful way. 

And we’ll have fun and spark joy along this journey!

IN MY free TIME…

I am a competitive sailor and love skiing, biking, and outdoor adventures. Balancing this with work can be challenging, but I aim for some movement in nature a couple times a week for a refreshing reset.

Fashion, design, and decorating are my passions. Dressing up delights me and helps me literally show up as my best self. I’m always tweaking and evolving my home to reflect how I want to feel and be.

I relish a good spa session and am always open to trying new wellness hacks. I frequent the sauna and cold plunge during the week, get regular massages, and consider these necessities for sustaining wellness rather than rare luxuries.

Growth is a way of living for me. I read multiple self-development books a month, listen to growth related podcasts daily and integrate these learnings into how I show up. I recently finished “Closer Together,” and it was incredible.

I love to travel and immerse myself in other cultures. I’ve lived in France and three major cities. My most recent trip was to the UAE. I also speak four languages.
