About me.

I am a mom, stepmom, wife, sister, daughter, grandma, friend, mediator, survivor, innovator, and advocate. I have had a mom role in the lives of 12 unique humans, have over 20 years of co-parenting experience, and am a breast cancer survivor and patient advocate. I love yoga, musical theatre, dancing, good food, cooking, therapy, podcasts about true crime and health, deep conversations, medical research, my book club ladies, learning about oddities, and my family.

Raised in Southern California, I moved to Utah to attend college, and with brief stints out of state for work and other education, Utah has been my home for over 20 years. I am an entrepreneur with experience in healthcare administration, financial services, conflict resolution, mediation, and organizational leadership. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management, a Master's degree in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, and a Doctorate in Interdisciplinary Leadership. I am enthusiastic about empowering people to engage in conflict in healthy ways.

I aim to evolve positively throughout my life, pursue learning and growing, and innovate in spaces that promote equality, respect, dignity, and oneness. I am passionate about self-advocacy and believe it is our responsibility to take control of our lives and futures through education, empathy, and assertiveness. I believe in people, kindness, opportunity, change, and love.
