My story
I started my career early, becoming a successful entrepreneur and graphic designer in my twenties, gaining experience about what it takes to launch, grow, and sell a business. During this time, I also began a journey to grow personally and spiritually that supported a desire to understand and learn how to live a conscious, fulfilling, and happy life while developing a successful company.
My husband and I grew our company from nothing to a million-dollar business just a few years later, serving clients in corporations, publishing, and entertainment industries, including Hilton Hotels Corporation, Geffen Records, and Walt Disney Imagineering, to name a few. We did this while choosing to create a company culture of empowering ourselves and our team with personal development and education opportunities. We recognized early on that growing personally is a natural by-product of being an entrepreneur. The more we challenged and supported ourselves, created a clear vision and goals, the more we would succeed on all levels.
Eventually, we sold our business for a healthy profit, and I pursued my newfound dream of starting a family and completing my coaching certification from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. I began my official career as a Professional Coach and Speaker.
Now my treasure and toolbox is fuller, and I joyfully share that with the hundreds of people I coach and train each year, to help them build and grow meaningful lives and businesses that positively impact them professionally, financially, and personally.
I'm a graduate of the Master's program from the University of Santa Monica in Counseling and Spiritual Psychology and completed six years of study from Peace Theological Seminary in Spiritual Science. I've also completed the Consciousness, Health & Healing Certification Advanced Spiritual Psychology Program at the University of S.M. I contribute to The Huffington Post, Thrive Global, ModernMom, am the Co-founder and Director of Professional Women's Network LA, and the co-founder of Get Up Girl Women's Coaching.
I am also an executive coach and training facilitator for Thrive Global. Founded and led by Arianna Huffington, Thrive Global is a corporate and consumer well-being and productivity platform to change the way we work and live. It provides science-based training, content, commerce, and ongoing support to help reduce stress and burnout and improve health and productivity for individuals and companies worldwide.
I also facilitate workshops for teens, educators, and parents for the EduCare Foundation throughout the year. They provide local school communities the tools to improve their leadership, communication, and social-emotional skills that positively impact their ability to succeed. I'm passionate about empowering young adults and love EduCare's mission, to inspire and empower young people to become responsible citizens, compassionate leaders, and live their dreams.

which helped me sell my book to the producers of American Idol and get published in Elle,
Latina and Cosmo all in one year."
