“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
―Howard Thurman
My mission is to help you open your heart and walk the path that makes you come alive.
I believe work can feel like play - an expression of who we truly are, not just a means of survival.
This transformation begins when we remember who we are and reconnect with our dreams. We start to recognize the unique contribution we’re here to make using our gifts, passions, and strengths.
We stop trying to meet everyone else’s expectations and instead follow our dreams, we start following our heart and what truly lights us up. When our work aligns with what matters to us, we gain energy, aliveness, and so much joy. That is the foundation of a healthy, joyful, and fulfilling life.
My Path
Before stepping into my true calling, I spent 14 years in tech as a UXR, designing user experiences for robots at places like:
Volkswagen Group Future Center California
Google X Moonshot “Wing”
On paper, I was thriving. Innovation. Prestige. The “dream” tech career.
But inside, I often had an identity crisis and felt trapped in a golden cage: exhausted, unfulfilled, and disconnected from what truly mattered to me.
The hardest part? I never felt like I was actually helping humans. My background in psychology was being used to help machines & profit, not people.
Then, I discovered coaching. A path to use my passion for people and my background in psychology to create actual, tangible impact. I started to build this new world on the side but I was afraid to fully commit. Burnout and illness finally forced me to confront the truth:
I couldn’t keep living the old way.
So I did the thing I feared most: I walked away from the “safety” of the corporate path to finally follow my heart.
Now, I help other purpose-driven professionals break out of their own 'golden cages'. I feel inspired and fulfilled by what I do. I like to say that I never have to retire anymore :)
It is an honor to support people in doing their finest work while taking care of their wellbeing and honoring their purpose.
And I know you deserve to feel this way too.
