ABOUT
I’ve never been just one thing, and maybe that’s why you’re here.
Some of us are wired for the layered life and path that doesn’t fit into a single checkbox. If you’re choosing your own way, you’re in good company.
Why I do this work
I believe our lives are made of chapters—careers, callings, seasons of clarity, seasons of questioning—and each one asks us to listen a little more closely to ourselves.
I’m drawn to moments of transition and rediscovery because in those moments, we have the opportunity to become more of ourselves. Whether I’m coaching, advising, or photographing someone, the heart of the work is the same: creating space for people to see themselves clearly and step into what’s next with confidence and a sense of grounded possibility.
What I’ve actually done
Credentials are only useful if they’re put to work. So instead of degrees, here’s what I’ve done:
I’ve spent more than a decade in the nonprofit sector helping leaders navigate growth, change, and impact with emphasis on helping families on the edges get access to critical services.
I’ve worked in wealth management supporting people through complex, values-driven financial decisions.
Spent ten+ years on faculty in the University of Oregon’s Nonprofit Management Program—my double Alma Mater. (Go Ducks!)
Run a photography practice documenting people in their most honest and expansive moments.
For the record: Master in Public Administration. Certified Professional Empowerment Coach. Certified Wealth Strategist. Former Certified Exit Planning Advisor.
My Philosophy
I work at the intersection of coaching, financial advising, and portrait photography — not because I couldn't choose, but because they're deeply connected. Each one creates space for people to see themselves and their choices with greater clarity.
Sometimes that looks like navigating money narratives. Sometimes it's mapping your next big move. Sometimes it's creating images that reflect who you're becoming.
At the heart of it all is one belief:
Success is alignment.
When your purpose, your resources, and your self-expression come together, life expands to meet you.
