My journey began during business school, when my mom nearly died from burnout—not metaphorically, but literally. This personal crisis became my professional awakening, fundamentally reshaping my understanding of work's impact on our wellbeing. Through remarkable resilience, my mom not only recovered but emerged stronger and wiser than before. Witnessing her transformation forever altered my path.

I initially focused on macro-level solutions—social enterprises, worker cooperatives, labor rights, and management systems. But I discovered that even the most idealistic organizations still struggled with overwork, toxic cultures, and conflict. The problem runs deeper than organizational structure.

This realization launched me into a decade-long exploration across psychology, neurobiology, and business. I earned multiple advanced degrees while simultaneously doing my own healing work—slowly learning to lead a healthier work life and helping friends, colleagues, bosses, teams, and companies do the same.

My most profound lesson? That it's true. To change the system, you have to start with yourself.

After years of research and practice, I've built a science-backed method that helps people transform their relationship with work from the inside out. My approach goes beyond surface-level productivity hacks to address the root causes of workplace burnout and chronic stress.

My methodology helps ambitious professionals:

• Uproot unconscious patterns that drive overwork

• Transform stress responses at the neurobiological level

• Redefine success in ways that honor wellbeing

• Create sustainable performance without sacrificing ambition

• Design a healthier work life without necessarily quitting your job (unless you want to)

The Work/Life Reset, my signature course, reflects this comprehensive approach. It integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with practical psychology to help professionals identify and transform the limiting beliefs and emotional drivers that keep them trapped in cycles of overwork and diminishing returns.

I believe that our best work happens when we're thriving, not surviving. This perspective challenges conventional workplace wisdom, but it's supported by extensive research showing that sustainable high performance requires intentional recovery, emotional awareness, and boundary-setting.

Consider me the champion of your healthy work era.

My experience is grounded in rigorous academic training and real-world application:

• MS, Applied Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Colorado State University

• Post Graduate Diploma, Applied Neuroscience, King’s College London

• BA, Business Administration & Political Science, University of Washington

• Certified Somatic Leadership Coach, The Strozzi Institute

• Non-Violent Communication Leadership Program, Bay Area Non-Violent Communication

• Heart of Facilitation Leadership Program, Center for Equity and Inclusion

• Certified Change Management Practitioner, AIM Methodology

This interdisciplinary background allows me to bridge the gap between cutting-edge scientific research and practical workplace application. By integrating insights from neurobiology, organizational psychology, and somatic awareness, I offer a uniquely comprehensive approach to professional transformation.

My work resonates with diverse professionals—from high-achieving corporate leaders trying to create not just healthy work lives, but healthy cultures, to tech professionals seeking evidence-based performance optimization. From young professionals establishing healthy career foundations to experienced individuals redesigning their relationship with work.

What unites my clients is a desire for meaningful, sustainable success and a willingness to challenge conventional workplace norms. They're ready to move beyond surface-level productivity hacks to address the deeper patterns that drive burnout.

I envision a world where work fuels you, instead of consumes you - where organizations and individuals recognize that sustainable success comes from honoring our humanity, not overriding it.

In my dream of dreams, this extends to doing business in a way that honors all life - connecting the personal to the planetary.

Through my coaching, courses, and advocacy, I'm committed to creating this shift: one professional, one team, and one organization at a time. Because when work serves life—rather than diminishing it—we all benefit.
