I am a firm believer of taking life by the horns, squashing fears and wrestling until you conquer what is in front of you. I spent a lot of my life facing fear, afraid of missing out or missing my life purpose. It is a really limiting way to live but I have gone on a journey of finding my courage to grow, to plant my seeds deep and to water the garden in front of me. Finding freedom, letting God father me and finding my voice has been my journey. My goal is to help others find their voice and live in the dreams that have always been inside.

 

I find deep joy in relationships and connection. I believe the best life is lived amongst friends and community. I am a strong believer in trying new things because as my mom always said, “you never know 'til you try it.” This was mostly in the context of trying new foods as a child but it stuck with me as a core value in every area of my life. It’s also a value I use in coaching because you really never know how liberating life can be until you "try it."
