What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here.
I know what it’s like to feel hopeless, disconnected, and without direction — and I know how to create a vision that changes everything.
My journey began in a dark place, battling suicide ideation and searching for a reason to keep going. Through intentional connection, open communication, and a commitment to living with purpose, I turned my life around and began helping others do the same.
Today, I’m a published researcher in suicidology, a school psychologist, a certified life coach, and a serial entrepreneur. I’ve spoken at national conferences, universities, schools, and youth groups — inspiring thousands to find their own vision for life and leadership.
When I speak, my mission is simple: to ignite vision, build connection, and equip people to lead themselves and others with purpose.
