For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the human condition. Combining literature and philosophy to form my own major, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from NYU with a BA in Humanities in 2003 (I’ve always been a bit of a nerd). I then spent nearly 10 years in the media world in New York City and Los Angeles working with various organizations that specialize in politics, education, film, television and modern culture. But it wasn’t enough. What I was really interested in, what really drove me were people: the vast array of humans I have connected with on my journey.
Background + Experience
In 2009, I hit a wall. Professionally. But mostly personally. I had opportunities, but neither the self-esteem nor the determination to see them through. I knew I was lost.
And so - to broaden my perspective, deepen my psychological knowing and understand myself more fully, I returned to the classroom (albeit an experiential one), receiving my MA in Spiritual Psychology in 2012, followed by an additional training year in Consciousness, Health & Healing in 2014. This work, which was so rich and deep and immersive, changed my life.
I learned to value myself, to listen to and trust my intuition. I honed my communication skills and learned to listen more deeply, without an agenda, to really hear others, and myself. It’s a process, always. There’s no arrival point, no destination, other than back home to oneself.
So, after almost a decade of denying my calling, I surrendered to my path. It wasn’t easy. I had to combat a whole host of inner demons, but I did it.
And now here I am. Living a sovereign life.
My wide-ranging experiences and travels thus far have granted me a great deal, but the greatest gift has been the people I have met along the way. From farmer to academic, from mechanic to hedge-funder, from the heartland to the coasts and from foreign to domestic, more unites us than separates us. We may each carry our unique perspective shaped from the worlds we've inhabited, but we all seek belonging. We all yearn to be seen and heard. We all crave love and purpose. It's what makes us human. It's how we're wired.
So no matter the situation, no matter the circumstance, my intention is always, first and foremost, to serve, to listen and to connect.
