  • The Alignment Strategist Who Builds Systems for Change

    Guiding accomplished women from success that feels empty to lives that feel as extraordinary as they look—while building impact infrastructure for women.

Dual Authority, Singular Focus

Premium Coaching

I partner with a select number of driven women leaders who refuse to choose between professional success and personal fulfillment. Together, we co-create lives of conscious achievement where your outer success finally matches your inner truth.

Systems Building

As founder of The Glow Initiative, I've created infrastructure that has delivered professional coaching to over 300 women in need and 6 nonprofits that serve them—driving measurable impact while building sustainable systems that center women's wellbeing over profit.

From Performance
to Purpose

My journey from achieving external success to building systems that serve collective transformation for women—and why my unconventional path makes me more effective at guiding yours.

The Performance Trap

As the first in my family to graduate university, I mastered the external game—Columbia BSc, Northwestern MSc, VP title, earning 6-figures, and leading projects with Fortune 500 executives. I achieved everything that should have felt like freedom, yet found myself in a sophisticated cage of my own making, performing success while feeling fundamentally misaligned.

The Great Unlearning

During a decade of deep personal work—meditation, Mindful Self-Compassion training, and receiving Transmission of the Five Mindfulness Trainings in the Plum Village Buddhist tradition—revealed an uncomfortable truth: the systems rewarding my success were designed to extract from human wellbeing.

Soul over Security

In 2023, I made the decision to align my work with what sets my soul on fire. I left a successful career in digital strategy to build a life deeply aligned with my highest wellness. As I liberated myself from capitalist patriarchy, I cultivated a deep desire to help other women—particularly marginalized women—find the same liberation through alignment coaching.

Scaling Transformation

Today, I operate at the intersection of individual transformation and systems change. As a Master Certified Professional Coach in private practice, I guide accomplished women ready to stop the exhausting performance of external success while feeling hollow inside. As founder of The Glow Initiative, I've created scalable infrastructure that has brought coaching to over 300 women in need and 6 nonprofits that serve them, proving that individual liberation radiates outward to collective impact.
