While my personal brand today may reflect polished stages, international speaking, and transformational coaching, beneath it lies a story of resilience, faith, and unwavering vision.

I was born and raised just outside of Philadelphia in the small town of Croydon — often called the “bad side of the tracks.” Even then, I carried an inner knowing that there had to be more to life. That quiet calling has guided me through every high and every heartbreak.

For over 30 years, I served as a trauma nurse, and healthcare leader, walking people through the most critical moments of their lives. But eventually, my own world was turned upside down — paralysis, a surgically induced stroke, the loss of my savings, my income, my home, and being handed disability papers and told I would never fully function again.

But I refused to lose my vision.

I discovered that chaos is not required for transformation — clarity is. We are not defined by our past, but by the story we choose to create from it.
