I'm a coach, a writer, and a former teacher. I help self-aware seekers—you know, people like us who've done the work but still feel that nagging gap between who we are and how we're actually living—practice being themselves in real life, not just in theory.

Growing up legally blind gave me an unexpected superpower: I learned to navigate the world through internal signals rather than scanning for disapproving looks or eye rolls I couldn't see anyway. That "limitation" became my greatest strength. It taught me to tune into how things actually feel instead of constantly performing for some invisible audience. The thing that made me different became the thing that made me wise.

That ability has carried me through everything: growing up poor as a brown, disabled woman, becoming the first in my family to earn an advanced degree, integrating into new cultures while traveling the world, and navigating my own beautifully messy growth journey. Most recently, it’s guiding me through one of my boldest transitions yet: letting go of hustle culture and stepping fully into my life as a coach.

Flash-forward to today: I've spent over 20 years in education and adult learning—first in the classroom with young children, then nearly a decade in the corporate world designing training for thousands of employees across multiple brands. My favorite thing about working with kids? How naturally, joyfully, and unapologetically themselves they are. My favorite thing about working with adults? Helping them find their way back to that feeling.

Here's what I've learned after decades of teaching and guiding others: Most people already have incredible insight about themselves. The problem isn't lack of self-awareness. It's the gap between knowing who you are and actually living like it. That's where the real magic happens.

I believe in everyday authenticity. Not a buzzword, but a practice. A way of taking action, making choices, solving problems and moving through the world with more curiosity, clarity, courage, and joy. If that sounds like what you've been searching for, let's talk.
