​​Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been driven to help people grow. My philosophy is that everyone has gifts, and can accomplish amazing things when they have what they need to succeed.

Unfortunately, the world often feels like it doesn’t value kindness and divergent thinking. Amazing people end up struggling, feeling burn out, without a community who accepts them and without a way to contribute their gifts to make a better world.

y 15-year career has spanned the intersection of education and mental health working with a wide range of neurodiverse teens and adults as a teacher, case manager, behavior counselor, tutor, educational therapist, and coach.

Working with amazing young people who had been failed by the traditional education system taught me see the big picture, find the root of the challenges, get creative, and most importantly, to never forget the human at the center of it all.

​This work is deeply personal to me. For years, I struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, managing to succeed professionally while privately battling chaos, shame, and burnout—until my body shut down and forced me to take a hard reset. I learned to work in a way that aligned with my needs, prioritize my health, and heal through community and doing my own work.

It wasn’t until my ADHD diagnosis years later that I felt like I finally had the full picture of myself. Working with a coach who really understood me made me realize how empowering or limiting executive function is, and how there’s not a single aspect of life that’s impacted by it.

Outside of work, I find joy in spending time with my loved ones, being in nature, biking, traveling, gardening, learning, going to concerts, and making friends with other people’s dogs (don’t tell the guy on the left I’m actually a cat person).
