From City Streets to Operating Room Suites to Consulting Global Business Elites:

I grew up between two very different worlds—South Central Los Angeles with my mother, a community facing well-known challenges where resilience was earned every day, and Malibu with my father, one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the country, known for its stunning coastlines and high-value homes. Living in both places shaped my perspective deeply, showing me how strength is forged in many forms and how environments—whether marked by struggle or comfort—impact who we become. Challenges exist in both, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden, and recognizing this helps us better understand ourselves and others. My work is about helping people bring out the best, highest version of themselves—no matter where they come from or what obstacles they face.

Like a lot of people, I chased athletic dreams as a way out of the circumstances I found myself in. When that didn’t pan out, it felt like a loss—but looking back, it was actually a gift. Athletics gave me the foundation for a winning mindset: the ability to take criticism without falling apart, the drive to improve not just for myself but for something bigger than me, and the discipline to keep showing up when it was hard. It taught me how to fail with grace, how to assess myself honestly, and how to get back up sharper. Those lessons never left me. They followed me into the operating room, into boardrooms, into mentorship, and into coaching. That early pursuit laid the groundwork for everything I do now—because it wasn’t just about winning, it was about becoming someone worth trusting under pressure.

I started my career in some of the country’s top medical centers, including UCLA and Cedars Sinai, working as a surgical technician where precision and pressure were part of the daily grind. Later, I shifted to corporate training in the competitive world of BPOs, leading programs for companies like Prime Therapeutics and Blue Cross Blue Shield. That experience taught me just how much culture shapes how we think, work, and grow.

Beyond my formal roles, I’ve spent time as an EMT, providing emergency care and support in critical moments. I’ve worked in security, protecting businesses and my own family, which sharpened my sense of responsibility and situational awareness. Additionally, I’ve educated others on how to become better athletes and competitors, as well as stronger partners in life—helping them develop not just physical skills but the mindset and character to succeed both on and off the field. These varied experiences have deepened my understanding of resilience, connection, and the many ways we grow through service and commitment.

Years of martial arts practice—along with studying philosophy, psychology, and different cultures—have helped me understand what it really means to be the kind of human who builds the world up instead of breaking it down. I try to mix heart with intellect, and experience with curiosity—drawing inspiration from a wide range of thinkers and artists who use creativity and story to open windows of clarity into self-awareness and offer deeper insight into living with purpose and meaning.

Now, as a life coach, I help people move from feeling disconnected to finding alignment, from burnout to purpose, and from fear to clarity. I work with all kinds of people—executives, creatives, athletes, students—but they all share one goal: to become more of who they really are, not just who the world has pressured them to be. It’s about uncovering the self that’s been buried under expectations, pain, or performance—and learning to live from that place with strength and intention.
