The Impact.
Helping people and organizations think differently, perform at their highest level, lead with confidence, and create meaningful impact.
By combining psychology, business, sport, and mental wellness, I empower individuals and organizations with the knowledge, strategies, and experiences needed to unlock potential and create lasting change.
How Passion Fuels Purpose
My journey has taken me from Toronto, Canada to several countries around the world. From playing Division I basketball in the U.S. to professional competitions across Europe. Earning scholarships to complete bachelor degrees in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in International Business. I have built a career using my lived experience and educational background to create meaningful impact in my community.
My passion sits at the intersection of wellness, performance, leadership, business, purpose, and possibility.
I bring a unique blend of athletic discipline, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, adaptability, creativity, and ability to connect communities.
I've experienced academic setbacks, mental wellness challenges, injuries, unexpected transitions, and the loss of opportunities I worked hard to earn.
I've had to advocate for myself, make difficult decisions, and rebuild using the strengths and experiences of my past and the resources around me.
Those experiences taught me more than how to overcome challenges. My experiences have taught me how to adapt, evolve, and keep moving forward with purpose.
