My Story

I never thought I'd end up as both an academic and entrepreneur.


Growing up, I dealt with learning disabilities, which taught me a lot about how I learn best. It was tough dealing with the stigma, feeling like I wasn't good enough. But over time, I learned to embrace what makes me unique.


That experience has allowed me to support others who struggle with feeling inadequate. From special education to earning a doctorate in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I've seen how people can thrive despite challenges.


With 25+ years of corporate experience, I've learned practical ways to help individuals and organizations grow. I use coaching, facilitation, and consulting to tackle everyday leadership hurdles and drive real transformation.
