I have spent most of my personal and professional life navigating change, crises and chaos while helping the people around me realize they are not alone, they will get through their current crisis and/or how they can get a step closer to their goals.

At my core, I am a helper.

My grandmother taught me the value of learning something new every single day and that “book smarts aren’t always the best smarts for a given situation.” The pursuit of lifetime learning she instilled in me has helped me keep up as technology and culture advances exponentially. Her grit and creativity taught me to never give up and to look beyond the manual for answers.

There is always a solution, a path forward. Sometimes we have to slow down and listen to others or our inner voices to find it, but it is there.
