When I was in business school, my mom nearly died from burnout—literally, not metaphorically. Watching her collapse under the weight of overwork permanently changed how I understood success.

She recovered. But I couldn’t unsee what had happened.

I began noticing how deeply work shapes our wellbeing—and how even in high-performing, purpose-driven environments, people burn out. Over time, it became clear that the problem wasn’t just external systems. It was internal: the beliefs, habits, and nervous-system patterns we inherit about worth, productivity, and success.

That realization shaped the next decade of my work.

I immersed myself in psychology, neurobiology, and leadership development. I pursued advanced training, studied with world-class teachers, and did the personal work required to change how I operated—not just what I believed.

The core lesson was simple, and demanding:
Lasting change starts internally.

To lead differently, you have to work with the systems inside you that shape how you respond to pressure, responsibility, and complexity.

My work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and embodied leadership.

I help ambitious leaders transform how they work from the inside out—by stabilizing the internal systems that shape decision-making, stress, and performance.

This isn’t mindset work layered on top of overdrive.
It’s a deeper recalibration of how effort, pressure, and leadership are carried in the body and nervous system.

The result is greater clarity, composure, and sustainable performance—especially in complex environments.

I bring both academic rigor and lived leadership experience to my work.

My training spans organizational psychology, applied neuroscience, somatic leadership, communication, and change management—allowing me to work fluently across individual, relational, and organizational systems.

Education & Training:

• Masters, Applied Industrial/Organizational Psychology – Colorado State University

• Masters Certificate, Applied Neuroscience – King’s College London

• Bachelors, Business Administration & Political Science – University of Washington

• Certified Somatic Leadership Coach – The Strozzi Institute

• Non-Violent Communication Leadership Program – BayNVC

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

• Certified Change Management Practitioner – AIM Methodology

This interdisciplinary foundation allows me to bridge science and lived experience—helping leaders make changes that hold under real-world pressure.

I work with high-performing, values-driven leaders who want meaningful success they can sustain.

They’re capable, respected, and effective—but sense that the way they’ve been operating no longer scales. They want a different relationship with work—one that supports health, relationships, and integrity without sacrificing impact.

I believe our best work happens when we’re resourced—not depleted.

My vision is a new era of leadership rooted in awareness, humanity, and sustainability—where success is measured not by endless output, but by clarity, integrity, and lasting impact.

Through my coaching, workshops, and signature program, The Core Process (coming soon), I work to redefine what modern success looks like: grounded, embodied, and built to last.
