I am an executive and lifestyle coach who shows women how to turn their major life challenges into purposeful, fulfilling careers and lives. I started out my career as a lawyer at a big firm. When I was 28 years old, I was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer, which completely changed my perspective on what I wanted out of life and how I wanted to be spending my precious time. After beating breast cancer and traveling the world, I transitioned into nonprofit management and founded my own non-profit, Thrivacious, an international community dedicated to helping women touched by cancer thrive and fulfill their dreams. I am also an IVF mama, writer, & women’s health activist. While taking a sabbatical from nonprofit management in order to go through fertility treatments and build my family, I trained to become a coach. I’ve now helped dozens of clients across the globe thrive through life’s challenges, find their purpose, and succeed and grow in their careers and personal lives.

I received my B.A. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and my J.D. from UCLA School of Law. I now live in Portland, OR with my husband Oren, miracle daughter Ella, and Franklin the Labradoodle.
