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 else can I tell you?
Credentials are only useful if they’re put to work. So instead of degrees, here’s a little of what I’ve done over the years:
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.
I’ve spent ten+ years on faculty in the University of Oregon’s Nonprofit Management Program—my double Alma Mater. (Go Ducks!)
I document people in their most honest and expansive moments through a photography practice of over 20 years.
