about me
I’m a born-and-raised Angeleno, which these days feels like a rare badge of honor. While school never quite captured my heart, the love of learning always did. It took me 13 years and six colleges to earn my bachelor’s degree—but once I did, I was hooked. I went on to earn a master’s in Religious Studies from Mount St. Mary’s and an MBA from the University of Redlands. What can I say? Once I found my rhythm, I couldn’t stop.
My path hasn’t been traditional, but it’s been full of intention. I’ve always been a curious blend of structure and spirit—shaped by parents who spent nearly 40 years in service at the IRS and in education, yet who raised my brother and me to believe we could do anything. And we believed them. From the age of 23, I’ve had one foot in entrepreneurship: designing invitations, making T-shirts, launching businesses, and yes—even quitting a secure job at the Getty to move to Arizona on a whim. I didn’t know anyone there, but I trusted I’d figure it out.
Eventually, my journey led me to the IRS, where I became a Revenue Officer helping people resolve tax liabilities. But I knew I could make a bigger impact in private practice—using the expertise I gained on the inside to advocate for clients on the outside. Helping people navigate the complex isn’t just what I do professionally—it’s who I am.
And through it all, there’s been travel. It’s my lifelong love, my compass. My mom used to laugh that I was the only child who got excited when we were lost—I’d grab the map and try to chart a new path. That same spirit drives me today. Whether I’m researching destinations, exploring new cultures, or planning my next trip while still on the current one, travel is how I learn, connect, and grow.
Today, I blend all of these threads—knowledge, creativity, risk-taking, and curiosity—to help others: solving problems, creating content, and telling stories that matter. I’m a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a partner, and a friend. And I’m so glad you’re here.
