Like so many of us, I’ve lived a life full of challenges. I’ve struggled with substance addiction, mental health disorders, incarceration, being unhoused, trauma, loss, and more. In the struggle to survive I’ve had to pick myself up over and over and try again. That’s resilience - the ability to get back up no matter how many times you fall down. It’s been a long journey to develop that resilience for myself. And since then, I’ve learned how to move beyond surviving and into truly thriving. I’ve discovered that life can be really amazing.

​

Along the way I also found something inside myself that I didn’t know was there: a powerful passion to effect change in others through the things I love - Recovery Coaching, Theatre, Storytelling and Education. I’ve built a life in which I get to harness that gift and foster greater resilience and deeper impact for individuals and organizations so they, too, can discover their path and thrive.
