WRITING - ENTREPRENUERSHIP - LEADERSHIP
THIS IS MY STORY
I feel like I’ve lived through many titles. In each version of myself, the roles I’ve held have shaped the way I think, lead, and make decisions. From working as a wilderness instructor with Outward Bound to launching my own fitness studio at 24, I’m grateful for the experiences that have challenged me, stretched me, and helped define my path.
Everyone needs a creative outlet outside of their day-to-day life. This is mine.
It’s a space where I can bring together my entrepreneurial spirit, leadership experiences, and career in finance. While financial planning remains a core part of my professional life, I’m equally energized by opportunities to create, teach, write, and inspire.
That’s why, outside of work, you’ll often find me sharing ideas, speaking to groups, and coaching others in design thinking and innovation.
This website is dedicated to that side of my journey. It’s a place to explore ideas, reflect on lessons learned, and share the projects, perspectives, and experiences that continue to inspire me.
I’m glad you’re here.

WAY TO GROW, Self Published 2019
After founding my first company, I learned that leadership, growth, and success rarely follow a straight path. In Way to Grow, I share the mistakes, challenges, and lessons that shaped my entrepreneurial journey. From building a business from the ground up to finding unexpected lessons in competition and surfing, I pull back the curtain on the realities of business ownership with honesty, humor, and grace.
Filled with wit, sarcasm, and practical insight, this book explores the moments that left me overwhelmed, exhausted, and questioning my direction, while sharing the strategies, mentor advice, and mindset shifts that helped me keep moving forward. My hope is to encourage fellow entrepreneurs to embrace the messiness of the journey, find confidence in the setbacks, and discover joy in the process.
With grace-infused guidance, Way to Grow shows how leading with humility, navigating challenges with confidence, and learning to laugh at the detours can help turn obstacles into opportunities for growth.
