About Me
As a legal professional turned mindfulness advocate, I've discovered that true leadership emerges at the intersection of analytical thinking and spiritual intelligence. With a Juris Doctor from the University of Dayton and Chief of Staff certification from Harvard Business School, I bring a unique blend of strategic acumen and compassionate guidance to my practice.
​
My journey into mindfulness leadership, enriched by intensive training through the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Institute and advanced certification from the Life Success Academy, has transformed my approach to both personal growth and professional success. This path has been profoundly deepened by my lifelong dedication to the scientific meditation practices of Paramahansa Yogananda through the Self-Realization Fellowship, where I've learned that ancient wisdom holds remarkable relevance for modern leadership challenges.
​
Drawing from Jon Kabat-Zinn's pioneering methodologies and my experience in prompt engineering from Vanderbilt University, I help ambitious professionals navigate the complexities of modern leadership while maintaining inner balance and authentic presence. This integration of traditional business expertise with time-tested mindfulness practices allows me to guide others in achieving not just professional excellence, but profound personal transformation and lasting fulfillment.
My Journey of Transformation
​
My mindfulness meditation journey began as a way to deepen my relationship with God. In 2008, a double personal tragedy thrust me into a wilderness period—a season of profound loss, reflection, and renewal. Witnessing fellow attorneys struggle with overwhelming anxiety during this time, I discovered my calling. These transformative experiences birthed the Mindful in 5® series, where I share the spiritual and practical wisdom that helped me emerge stronger.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
From Attorney to Mindfulness Advocate
With years spent navigating high-pressure environments as an attorney, I understand the toll that stress and overwhelm can take. But mindfulness changed everything. Through this practice, I found a way to balance ambition with inner peace—and now I’m passionate about sharing these tools with others through relatable stories, practical exercises, and spiritual reflections.
