ICF Credentialed Coach I Global Educator & Trainer I Learning & Development I Conflict Resolution I Ethnographic Research & Writing I Speaker

I’m a human expression coach, global educator, and consultant. I help people expand their lives through mental fitness, intellectual connectedness, and next-level completion of their projects.

Growing up, I felt excited by the notions of freedom, possibility, and fresh direction, but often I thought you had to go somewhere else to experience this. And usually far away. Having traveled and worked globally, I know the power of new vistas and perspectives to be true.

However, I’ve also learned that a more fulfilled experience can be close to us all the time, wherever we might be.

I guide people to harness their own awareness and insight so they can develop the mental fitness needed for their personal and professional missions.

I can support you to rediscover your own shape - or shapes - of expression- as we address the obstacles getting in the way of your life force, happiness, and intellectual potential. It starts with the messages you tell yourself.

Shape Human Expression

I worked for years in residential treatment, as well as at colleges, universities, and in the private sector. I publish essays and scholarly articles on cross-cultural complexity and cohesion, communication, and human expression, including the impact of Artificial Intelligence and our evolving views of its constraints and potential. Other areas of research have included peripatetic relationships of purpose, yelling, the future of English, and methods of motivation for resistant individuals and groups.

I hold an MFA in Writing and a graduate certificate in English Education. I earned a Ph.D. in Comparative Studies in 2011 and my doctoral research on long-term service in Post-Katrina New Orleans has been anthologized. Throughout my years of living in Southeast Asia, I studied sound healing and trained with Grand Master Shree Krishna Shahi in Nepal in 2018.

In 2021, I became certified as a Flow Coach and was credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). In 2022 I trained in Positive Intelligence, a method for mental fitness.
