After graduating from UC Berkeley, I began a thriving corporate career in medical device sales. I was constantly in the top 1-2% in my companies, which led to amazing opportunities to lead others, create leadership programs within my companies and be managing multimillion dollar territories. I had high hopes and dreams for the future—all of which came to a crashing halt 15 years ago after two consistent car accidents that left me with multiple life-altering injuries. I even had to relearn how to walk. 

I experienced everything from short-term memory loss, brain fog, chronic pain that turned into fibromyalgia to IBS, gaining 30 pounds and suffering extreme PTSD. The struggle and crisis was real and I can fully relate and meet anyone or team where they are at no matter how tough the circumstance that is going on. For two years, I tried to hide the pain, push through it and ignore it. I had one surgery on my left knee and was trying to prevent spine surgery and one weekend I finally hit rock bottom. That was the first time I decided to take charge of my recovery.

I turned on my curiosity and sought out sage advice from ancient healing traditions, curious if there was an eastern compliment to western medicine. This journey led me across the globe: India to the Amazon, Kyoto to Bolivia, China to the Himalayas. I healed more in the following months after I took back control than I had in the two years following my accidents. It motivated me to go back to school to learn further about holistic, integrative, and leadership strategies. I first became a yoga instructor; then a certified health counselor. I studied energy work, became a certified executive coach and a Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) trainer along with some other certifications.
