I grew up in a loving home in the Midwest with two sisters. My mother and father were raised in the south during the Civil Rights Movement which led them to surrounded me with a strong sense of heritage and compassion.

 

Even under the protective care of a peaceful home life, I still faced hardships in racial identity, health and low self-esteem. In school, I was stifled by overwhelming feelings of low self-confidence and dyslexia. Terrified that other students and teachers would find out how different I was, I rarely spoke in class. Negative internal mantras of self-doubt plagued my school years. These limiting beliefs and inner lies that I believed, blocked me from seeing my full potential. Until, my fifth grade teacher took time to connect and provide encouraging words of inspiration. This would spark the desire to become a teacher and reach students by using genuine compassion.

​

Now, as a mother and military spouse, I make it my personal goal to live each day with good intentions and positive purpose.

​

If I'm not contemplating ways to make the world a better place, you can find me on the soccer field, on the yoga mat or planning my next hike up Mt. Fugi. 

​

Studying metaphysics, neuroscience and other natural sciences have always intrigued me. I pride myself on being health conscious and love experimenting with clean meals for my family.

 

I get my inspiration from listening to spiritual teachers and leaders of all religious backgrounds.

 

Although I am thankful for the stillness of being at home with friends and family, I am also fond of traveling to new places and meeting different people.
