I’m a communications specialist, speaker, and lifestyle coach.

After an extensive career in the financial services sector across a number of financial institutions including Bear Stearns, JPMorgan, and Bank of China, I’ve transitioned into human development and transformation across all aspects of life: but specifically focused on interpersonal communication, coaching, health and well-being.

It began with a Tony Robbins cassette.

Growing up, my mother always had Tony Robbins’ motivational speaker tapes in the car, so I knew who he was from young age. I read Tony’s books, including one that made the most impact on me: Awaken the Giant Within.

I spent nearly 15 years in the finance world, but never felt fully comfortable or confident in communicating or expressing myself. Personal impact, communication, deliver messaging and interact with people →

I took a friends’ recommendation and started an improv comedy practice. This led me to Toastmasters, where I gave speeches for three years at a local club, then started my own Toastmasters Club where I was working at JP Morgan. I got more deeply involved, becoming the Division Director.

 

Speaking and coaching came naturally.

I then discovered Landmark personal development work: which I did for four years. I began to change my body and my mind, running marathons and lifting weights and realizing how much I was capable of achieving.

Soon I realized the way to deepen my practice was to try communications coaching with others. I loved it and was very good at it.

This led to leaving the financial sector and diving into my current work with Templar advisors, where I do business communication coaching regularly with one-on-ones and small groups of clients. I love helping people and sharing the transformation tools I’ve found.
