Having lived in London, Brussels, Atlanta, Vero Beach (FL), Oxford (OH), Tanzania, Chicago, Blowing Rock (NC) and now New Orleans, I've experienced many different cultures and met all kinds of people in all walks of life. My career to date included mostly non-profits, from my first job as a "wish granter" at an organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses, to running the Chicago Chapter of an organization that paired veterans with PTSD and TBI with shelter dogs trained as therapy animals, I've always felt called to help people in their turbulent times. But when I found myself in need of help, the traditional ways were not a good fit for me. Therapy is wonderful for some people and important for understanding why you are the way you are. But for me, I was sick of rehashing what had happened to me in the past. I knew why I was the way I was; I wanted tangible, actionable strategies for moving forward. So I set out to find a way to help myself through books, podcasts, videos, lectures, retreats...whatever I could get my hands on that might help me to get me on the right path. And after much trial and error, and a lot of work, I eventually built the life I always knew I could have with a career that could help people do the same.
