Founder. Storyteller. Purpose Mentor. Bridge-Builder.

I was born and raised in San Francisco to teen parents and grew up surrounded by love, faith, and resilience. I watched my mother—a teen mom—overcome many systemic barriers to achieve her calling of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. Her quiet strength shaped how I understood perseverance and purpose, even in the face of setbacks.
Stories are shaped by a range of circumstances—seen and unseen, and what I’ve learned is that those stories are not fixed. They can be questioned, reclaimed, and rewritten.
That’s the heart behind everything I do.
Now, through A Three Act Story, I work with founders, creatives, community leaders, and seekers—guiding them to rediscover the story behind their work and align their life with their purpose. And through The Heart Cleanse, I support women and girls in releasing emotional burdens, reclaiming joy, and creating space for healing and clarity.
