-Born a creative child that was filled with wonder, I started adult life as a working Musician in Los Angeles, California.
-After years of playing in the LA club scene, I migrated into the Music Industry where I honed my marketing and communication skills.
-I moved into Human Resources, Marketing and Company Leadership and led the HR and Learning Functions at innovative companies such as: Virgin Entertainment, New Horizons Worldwide, and New Media Network.
-I grew my leadership and communication experience by being responsible for thousands of employees, leading many hundreds of meetings & coaching / engagement sessions, and creating countless hours of training content aimed to help people professionally and personally.
-After more than two decades in the corporate world, within an 18-month period I experienced a series of life-changing events that ended my conventional lifestyle. These changes included relocation, career transition, ending a long relationship and the death of a beloved family member. Then, I faced my own mortality after being diagnosed with Stage 3 head and neck cancer.
-The above culminated into a transformational moment when I gave up my home, gave away most everything I owned and left the country to volunteer and to travel.
-My trip evolved into what people called a Hero’s Journey that began to heal my heart as it inspired me to dedicate my time to sharing insights about and advocating for positive personal and social change and giving back.
-I served on the Los Angeles Region Board of Directors for the American Red Cross and continue to support Humanitarian efforts through the Red Cross and other organizations.
-I also have travel domestically and internationally to do volunteer work with charities such as A Fresh Chapter, Cross-Cultural Solutions, and continue to support and promote a variety of groups and non-profits that do good works for their communities and the world.
