A Journey of Resilience, Growth, and Leadership
Life has a way of shaping us through trials, triumphs, and moments of profound transformation. My own journey—marked by struggles, breakthroughs, and an unwavering quest for truth—has become the foundation for my work as a leadership and career coach. Today, I use the lessons I’ve learned to empower others to uncover their potential, navigate challenges, and create lives and careers aligned with their deepest aspirations.

The Power of Overcoming Adversity
As a teenager, I faced a life-threatening illness that tested not only my body but also my spirit. Recovering from hepatitis taught me the value of resilience, the strength found in faith, and the importance of a supportive community. Moving to the United States shortly after this experience, I faced new challenges—including financial instability—that fueled my determination to take control of my future.
At 15, I stepped into the workforce, earning my way through college with hard work and persistence. From McDonald’s drive-thrus to Costco parking lots, I learned the discipline and grit required to transform adversity into opportunity. These experiences shaped my understanding of leadership: it begins with leading yourself through the toughest circumstances.
Rising as a Leader
My career journey took me from pulling carts in a parking lot to an internship at Ernst & Young, and eventually to leadership roles at Intuit. Along the way, I learned that growth comes from embracing discomfort and feedback. Early in my corporate career, I received a tough evaluation about my leadership. Instead of retreating, I committed to becoming the kind of leader my team needed. Six months later, I transformed from a struggling manager into a respected leader, a shift that shaped my belief in the power of intentional growth.
Working directly with Brad Smith, the former CEO of Intuit, as my mentor reinforced this belief. His guidance helped me see leadership not just as a skill but as a mindset—a commitment to empowering others while continually evolving myself.
A Lifelong Quest for Truth
While climbing the corporate ladder, I began asking deeper questions:
-
What is the purpose of all this?
-
Who am I beyond my accomplishments?
This search led me to explore philosophy, spirituality, and personal development. From studying ancient texts to becoming a certified yoga teacher and eventually a Kriya Yogi, my spiritual path has been as transformative as my professional journey. These practices not only deepened my self-awareness but also sharpened my ability to guide others toward their own truth.

Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
Whether it was overcoming financial insecurity, healing from heartbreak, or seeking deeper meaning, every chapter of my life taught me this: growth happens when we take ownership of our story. Through self-reflection, courage, and the right guidance, I discovered how to shift from being reactive to becoming the creator of my destiny.
Today, I help my clients do the same. My mission is to empower leaders, professionals, and seekers to:
-
Embrace their challenges as catalysts for growth.
-
Build careers aligned with their values and aspirations.
-
Step into their leadership potential with confidence and clarity.
-
Connect with their deeper purpose and use it as a foundation for lasting impact.
