Who am I?

Some background
I began my academic journey at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a focus on biological sciences, followed by a Master of Science in Educational Psychology and a certification in secondary education. This training allowed me to teach at the high school level with both a strong understanding of how the brain learns and practical skills to maximize student retention.
I went on to complete a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Texas A&M University–Central Texas in Killeen, where I became a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and worked with children and military service members. A few years later, I earned a Doctorate in Educational Leadership (Ed.D.), conducting my dissertation on women leaders in the military. I then completed a two year certification program at the University of Michigan in Sex Education, Therapy, and Counseling, which sparked my interest in healthy relationships and sexual health. Most recently, I completed a Master of Applied Positive Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania which allows me to help individuals and teams focus on creating purpose, happiness, well-being, and to thrive.
It’s fair to say I love learning and studying! Yet I believe knowledge alone isn’t enough, we must find ways to apply it meaningfully. My passion is translating research into practice, helping people use science to thrive at work and in life. I partner with leaders and teams to boost productivity and performance, support parents and families in raising healthy children, and am inspired by working with girls and women’s groups.
