For a long time, my life looked very different on the surface. I spent years building a career in engineering and corporate roles with big-name companies, climbing the ladder, chasing the next promotion, and sitting in rooms where the stakes were high and the pressure was constant. On paper, everything looked successful. Inside, I could feel something was off.

What stayed with me from those years wasn’t the project plans, product launches, or slide decks. It was the people. The managers who made you feel seen. The leaders who burned out quietly. The teams doing incredible work while navigating unclear expectations, poor communication, and constant change. I kept seeing the same truth over and over again: business problems were almost always people problems in disguise.

Eventually, I realized I didn’t just want to succeed in those environments. I wanted to change them. So I stepped away from the corporate climb and chose to focus my work on what matters most to me: helping leaders create workplaces where people can actually thrive. Now, through my leadership development work, I get to support managers and teams in becoming more human, more intentional, and more effective in how they lead.

At the end of the day, I’m someone who believes in living fully, in movement, in growth, in creativity, and in adventure. Whether I’m on a mountain, at a concert, on a golf course, or laughing with my little one, I’m here for all of it. And in my work, I’m here for the leaders who want to build something better for their people.
