As a Bio-Chemistry/Molecular-Biology major in college, I dreamed of going to medical school and conducting groundbreaking research. {I wanted to save the world!} After my year-long application to Western Africa with the Peace Corps was rescinded one week before graduation, I was left reeling with no direction.

The universe guided me to the classroom where I taught English, Math, French, Physical Science, and ultimately Chemistry for almost 12 years. In keeping with my love of Science, my Masters focused on brain-based teaching and how to retrain your brain through positivity. {I wanted to change the world!}

When I stepped away from teaching 2 years ago, I had no idea what the future had in store. But I knew my words and my experiences needed to be used in a larger classroom. {I wanted to heal the world!} And then, all of a sudden and without premeditation or warning, I find myself first in DC and now in NYC speaking about how the trials and adversities of life can give rise to greater strength and compassion.

Let us not underestimate the powerful motivator that is Love for the greater good.
Where love leads you.
