“I tried to follow a “traditional” career path, but I always found my way back to my studio to create and write. I’ve made a career out of doing what they tell you not to study in college if you want to make a living—and they were wrong! People should do the work that matters to them.”

“I feel like I’m a safe space for many. I contribute by giving my time and talent to others, whether that’s through my photography, my creativity, or simply being present for people who need support.”

“Knowing that my work has the potential to change lives keeps me motivated. I’m inspired by the stories of clients who’ve overcome incredible odds and by the belief that fostering mental fitness can create ripples of positive change in communities. I’m also driven by the pursuit of knowledge, which is why I continue my studies to stay at the forefront of performance psychology.”
