Why I Write

I write because words helped me breathe when life took the air from my lungs. My journey through trauma, grief, and survival became more than a private story. It became a path toward connection. Through memoir and fiction, I give voice to what so many keep silent, offering light in places where it feels like none remains

Why I Coach

I coach because I believe in the possibility within people. Nothing inspires me more than watching someone discover their own strength and step into their potential.

For me, coaching is about more than solving problems — it is about helping people see what they are capable of, often beyond what they imagined. Whether in leadership, life, or career, I am passionate about creating space for growth, clarity, and courage.

When someone realizes they can reach for their dream and actually touch it, everything changes. That is why I coach.
