I have been married for almost 25 years, raising two amazing girls, and living in Ashburn, VA. I love traveling to new places and genuinely believe that seeing the world helps us understand each other better. If my body allowed it, I’d eat everything—I was once a proud foodie—but apparently discernment is part of adulthood. Same with pickleball… my enthusiasm says yes, my aging body says “let’s talk about it.” I can, however, dance all day. My late muse has been line dancing and often find myself teaching the latest craze.
I’m an INFJ and an ambivert — social, curious, and energized by people - until I’m not. Alone time reenergizes me. I like my privacy and feel that I don’t need to blast my whole life to the world. I like my space to be calm. Drama and pressure destabilizes me. I’m selective with who I let close, but once you’re in, I’m deeply loyal. My closest friends go all the way back to 4th grade!
I love to laugh and have been called goofy at times especially with my girls. There are times when you’ll see me in the pickleball court dancing and singing my heart out to a great tune. Sometimes, when it’s melancholy outside or having one of those days, I force myself to smile to reset my mind. Try it, it works! I just like being in the midst of positive energy. Moping seems like a waste of your valuable lifetime seconds. I ain’t got time for that! When you’ve been hit with debilitating diseases, you gain new perspectives! There’s so much to do, places to see, people to impact! Everyday I thank God that I wake up to an abled body and abled mind. On my last breath, I’d like to say that I have helped not one but a multitude of souls with lives fulfilled.
When friends were asked to describe me, words like athletic, tenacious, organized, meticulous, goal-oriented, honest, energetic, and optimistic kept coming up—along with something I value most: making people feel truly seen and heard. I’m deeply observant sometimes to the detriment of my mind.
I love reading self-help books. I’m always working on myself, not because something’s wrong with me, but because I believe becoming more of me means I have more to give to the world.
At my core, I’m simply committed to living fully, living “me”, growing intentionally, and helping others do the same—without losing the joy along the way.
Hope I get to meet you soon!

Hi there!
Lake Banff. Such a magnificent place. I could have SUP’d all day. So peaceful!

My Life’s Purpose
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply curious about the meaning of life and the human psyche — what moves us, what blocks us, and what ultimately brings us home to ourselves. For years, I lived out of alignment, following expectations rather than purpose. Even as I had built a successful career in accounting and later transitioned into IT and had even dabbled in recruiting, something inside me felt unfinished — like my soul was whispering there’s more.
That whisper grew louder during one of the hardest seasons of my life — navigating diagnoses of MOG and existing Lupus leading to the questioning of my identity, worth, and path and experiencing daily anxiety attacks that I couldn’t shake off. If you are like me, I associated my value to my profession. I was a high functioning superwoman who could juggle 13 things without letting anything fall. It was during that darkness that a truth unfolded: my pain wasn’t punishment — it was initiation. Every struggle, breakdown, and breakthrough was shaping me into who I was meant to become.
As a 3/5 Projector, I am here to learn through my experiences and then share and guide those knowledge to solve problems for others and when invited and recognized, I awaken, guide, transform, and ignite the pursuit of self and the meaning of life. I transform struggle, through trial and error, into purpose and return people to themselves simply by being aligned with my own inner truth. My focused and absorbing aura makes people feel seen and understood.
Through Human Design, mindset shift work/subconscious reprogramming, and deep inner healing, I began reclaiming who I truly was — not who the world conditioned me to be. I stopped comparing myself to others and diminishing my worth. They are walking in their own soul’s journey. Doubt still whispers (it’s part of my Human Design imprint), but now I meet it with grace, knowing it’s only the echo of my not-self — not who I truly am. I allow, accept, and embrace my shadow. Now, I love my imperfectly perfect self and oh man, I am wonderfully and beautifully created! I was made to ignite and guide YOU!
Today, as a Life Purpose and Mindset Coach, I support others through that same evolution — from feeling lost, to aligned, transformed, and ultimately ignited. I believe every transition is sacred, every struggle holds wisdom, and every soul is here for a unique expression of impact whose light will make this world a better place.
If you’re here, you’re not behind — you’re arriving. And I’m honored to walk this part with you. I can’t wait to see your light shine!
My Self-Discovery and Embodiment
But clarity alone wasn’t enough. Embodiment was the real work. My passion in neuroscience gave language to what Human Design revealed. Knowing who I was didn’t automatically change how I lived. The subconscious mind — responsible for 90–95% of our internal world — was still running survival programs written by a younger version of me. Beliefs that once protected me were now limiting me. And my mind resisted. Constantly. That resistance wasn’t failure — it was biology. The brain is designed to keep us safe, not aligned. Change feels like threat. Expansion feels like danger. By integrating Human Design with neuroscience-backed tools, I learned how to rewire those patterns without forcing, bypassing, or self-betrayal. I didn’t just understand my design — I embodied it.
This is where transformation happens.
As a 3/5 Projector, my energy isn’t meant for grinding or proving. It’s meant for guiding, experimentation, trial and error, and lived wisdom. My life path is never straightforward but when aligned is deeply rewarding. Looking back, that theme runs through everything — especially my career. Accounting. Recruiting. IT. Searching for meaning in roles that almost fit except for one, but I didn’t know that then — not because the work was different, but because I was recognized. Invited. Seen. The essence of a Projector.
My conscious Sun at 28.3 drives me to seek meaning through challenge—to persist until life feels worthy of the struggle. My unconscious Sun at 31.5, part of the Channel of the Alpha, speaks to leadership that emerges naturally. Democratic. Trusted. Chosen. Not self-appointed. I’m still embodying that leadership.
Human Design isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who you were before conditioning taught you to perform, push, or apologize. This is how Human Design moves from self-discovery to transformation. Not by telling you who to be, but by helping you finally see yourself clearly. I guide you to clarity on your identity, purpose, and embodiment, taking you from lost to aligned, to transformed and ignited.
There are countless insights waiting for you. This is just a sample of what I am.
So the real question isn’t whether Human Design resonates. It’s this: Who are you living as — and who might you become once you stop fighting your design?
Human Design is a mirror to your soul. It reflects your gifts, your shadows, and the way you’re meant to move through the world. I had explored MBTI and other self-awareness tools and frameworks. As an INFJ, much of it resonated but HD went deeper. It didn’t just describe how I think — it revealed how I am meant to live. I often say, “I can’t guide you where to go, if you’re lost to begin with”. You will keep going in circles repeating the same pattern - going for the same job just different company, or different people same drama. That is why it became the foundation of my practice and why it is imperative we get the foundation grounded so you have a compass to living your truth.
My design reflects this role. Consciously, my Earth at 27.3 carries a natural instinct to care, support, and protect. Unconsciously, my Earth at 41.5 gives me the ability to create practical solutions and frameworks when resources feel tight—when people feel stuck, uncertain, or depleted. This isn’t something I learned. It’s something I am.
Through the Channel of Wavelength (48–16), I see depth — in people, in systems, in patterns others sense but can’t yet articulate. When I’m invited to share, insight lands as clarity. It helps others refine and master their craft, trust their knowing, and move from confusion to competence. But depth has a shadow. For years, it showed up as comparison. As the quiet question of “Am I enough?” Human Design didn’t bypass that shadow. It named it — and freed me from it.
My Right Angle Cross of the Unexpected (28/27/31/41) tells the story my life had already lived: disruption, pivots, resets, plot twists. Careers changed. Paths unraveled. Identities dissolved. Each moment felt destabilizing — until I realized they were initiations. This design doesn’t follow linear paths. It awakens through experience, challenge, and meaning found only after the turn.
During my darkest hours, I sought guidance, hoping to “fix” myself. Truth was, I didn’t need fixing. What I needed was recognition of my design. When that landed, comparison fell away. Apology dissolved. I felt whole. I felt free. I felt Me — without justification.
