I am a mission-driven thought leader who stands in a place of hope while assembling others and activating collective power for a more just world.I FOUND PURPOSE AND POWER IN WHAT BROKE MY HEART.I grew up in a middle-class family in rural midwestern America. I was raised in a loving home … but a culture that told me what I “should do” and that I was “not good enough” just being me. My story is the message of my heart and so many others. For it is in what broke my heart that I found purpose and personal power to become fully and authentically me. I rose up to stand in a place of hope and courage, embracing my values and mission. I chose disruption and freedom. I unleashed my inner superhero and embarked on an extraordinary journey of personal growth and expansion as well as professional elevation from public safety to executive leadership in the Tech industry, successfully coaching individuals and leading mission-driven teams with purpose, passion, and lived experience. I still choose disruption and freedom everyday as I stand for myself, the most marginalized, and all those who are seeking to expand and rise. Together, we can achieve a better self and a better world when we activate our power from the margin.I am a thought leader with over two decades of experience transforming lives and organizations.
