I believe everything is figure-out-able, if you want it to be

I believe in betting on yourself. Why not you? Why not greatness? Why not winning?

For 16 years, I built my career in the music industry from the ground up—starting as an unpaid intern and becoming a six-figure executive. I didn’t come from an elite school. I had no industry connections. I was just a mixed girl from Ohio with roots in the Bay—but I had vision, drive, and the willingness to figure it out.

I helped recording artists go platinum, secured #1 radio records, and helped turn GRAMMY dreams into realities. And through it all, I discovered my true gift:—helping people believe in themselves.

But my real education wasn’t just in business—it was in life.

I’ve lived in a world that constantly asked, “What are you?” and learned to own my space as a racially ambiguous woman—turning otherness into individuality, and individuality into a superpower.

I’ve coached myself through a 75-pound weight loss journey, healing old patterns and rebuilding trust with my body.

I’ve survived the grief of losing a family member to suicide—and somehow found a way to keep going, breathing, and building life around loss.

I’ve ended long-term relationships, not because they lacked love — but because I knew we both deserved more. I chose myself. And I grieved that choice. I’ve navigated the emotional aftermath of skin cancer, learning to make peace with the scars the world can see — and the ones it can’t.

I left everything familiar — Ohio, the music business, the predictable path — to stand fully in alignment with my gifts, with nothing but faith in the future I was building.

I became a life coach because, truthfully, I’ve been coaching people—and myself—my whole life and been wildly successful at it.

Whether it was artists, colleagues, friends, or strangers, I’ve always been the one people could sit with and not feel judged. Those moments led to real talk, clarity, and momentum. I’m like your gentle sumo wrestler: pushing you forward—with love.

To honor the work I was already doing, I became a Certified Professional Life Coach, completing my training at an ICF-accredited institute—the gold standard for coaching excellence.

Now, I help ambitious professionals stop overthinking, trust themselves, and build a life that actually fits — especially those who’ve spent their lives in survival mode and are finally ready to prioritize wellness, self-trust, and joy.

This work is also the seed of something bigger.

I’m building First Generation Wellness™ — a long-term vision rooted in making clarity, healing, and growth more accessible to those who’ve never seen themselves represented in wellness spaces.

FGW is about connecting first-gen seekers — people stepping into clarity and wholeness for the first time in their families or communities — with first-gen providers who’ve lived it too. It’s about rewriting what wellness looks like when you’ve had to figure it out as you go.

Because this work isn’t just about me — it’s about you.

It’s about cutting through the noise, finding your center, and moving with clarity toward the life you’re meant to live.

Humans are my specialty. I’ve done everything—from catching lines on the docks of Lake Erie, to slinging drinks as a barista by day and bartender by night. From college radio host to negotiating multimillion-dollar music deals.

At every step, I’ve learned: Human connection is EVERYTHING!

Let’s see what’s possible together.
