Days before my fifteenth birthday, I was diagnosed with leukemia. Years of treatment, recovery, and uncertainty shaped how I think about health — not as an absence of illness, but as something that requires active, ongoing attention to optimize well-being. Surviving cancer– and navigating survivorship– served as a unexpected catalyst to my career. 

​

After college, I went on to study Psychology and Spirituality Mind-Body Studies at Columbia University, earning my MA in Psychology, and became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. What followed was a career in health tech driven by one consistent thread: helping people understand and optimize their own well-being.

​

Career highlights:

• Five years at Lief Therapeutics, an early-stage HRV biofeedback startup — growing from their second coach hire to leading the coaching program and managing clinical and research partnerships, including a collaboration published in JAMA. 

​

• Consulting with Flo Health, piloting a group support program for women navigating fertility journeys. 

​

• Coaching at Bend Health, supporting children, adults, and families navigating mental health conditions. 

​

• Co-author of Courageous Well-Being for Nurses (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2023) with Dr. Donna Gaffney.

​

• Own social media management to promote The New Rules of Women's Health by Meghan Rabbitt, healh journalist and author. 

​

​I'm actively involved in several professional communities — including The Old Girls Club and In Women's Health. Locally, I am a part of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum's Visionary Network, a community and cause that holds deep personal meaning for me.

​

Outside of work, you can find me walking my rescue poodle, Ruby, writing personal essays, or somewhere near the water with a matcha latte. I'm also a trained trauma-informed yoga teacher — a practice that keeps me connected to the mind-body work where my path began.
