About Me

 CREDIBILITY + MY STORY 

I’m someone who wishes I had taken a gap year back when I was choosing a major. I felt artsy, intuitive, expressive—but I had no space to explore those parts of myself while living such a fast‑paced teen life. I wanted to study writing, fashion, or art. Instead, I let tuition rates, parents, and well‑meaning adults steer me toward a more traditional path that “guaranteed” employment. I didn’t realize that choosing something safe would slowly drain the creativity I was trying to protect.

So I chose business as my major and healthcare/services management as my minor for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. The business side wasn’t the problem—I enjoyed it, even imagined my own ventures throughout the program. But learning the inner workings of the American healthcare system taught me how to dissect systems, how to see the flaws beneath the surface, how something can appear helpful while quietly draining society over time. I think in systems, so the content wasn’t difficult. What was difficult was that my soul longed for something else, and I pushed myself through both programs with minimal breaks—carrying stress, panic attacks, and stomach issues because none of it truly agreed with my body.

Today, I can see that no time is wasted time. I use everything I learned—academically and through lived experience—to offer you my expertise with clarity and compassion.

I’ve always drifted toward helping young people figure themselves out because I know what I needed back then and didn’t have. Think of me as a transition doula. When I taught in public and private school settings, I was drawn to fifth grade—the threshold between childhood and adolescence. The classroom itself wasn’t my long‑term home, but the students were. They needed reminders to stay rooted in themselves in the face of pressure. They needed freedom to speak, to express, to be. I taught curriculum, yes, but I also taught self‑expression. My students adored me, and I adored them.

Because of my understanding of systems, my educational background, and my natural ability to teach, guide, and attune, I’ve built curriculums you’ll begin to see unfold. I bring myself through every curriculum first so I can connect with my students in ways others may not. This is the phase I’ve been in for a long time—learning, unlearning, integrating. I’m a lifelong learner, and students love knowing you’re learning from them too.
