I was born in the school of hard knock ambition and fueled with the fire of God. Every ounce of success I have is something He's prepared and tested me for. At the age of 5, I lost my parents to murder & suicide. I was separated from my brothers and sisters. And project “fiercely independent” came fully into being. By the age of 8, I mastered how to push myself hard and write down my dreams, day after day after day.

I got my first “job” at the age of 13, scraping grime off of old Porsches, sandblasting parts, and cleaning the shop. I graduated high school at the age of 17 with loads of honors and scholarships….and then went on to graduate Wake Forest University at the age of 20 with a B.A. in Communication. During those three years, I lived a semester in Venice, Italy, learned to speak 5 languages, spent a summer in Roatan, Honduras, and became the most maxed out volunteer, waitress, and sorority sister imaginable. It was exhilarating… and exhausting.

Fast forward to grad school – I completed an M.A. with Middlebury over the course of a year while living in Florence, Italy, working as a multilingual nanny, and facilitating international trade deals for the Italian Consulate. Not to mention the gelato binging and traveling solo ALLLLLLLL over Europe (a crazy adventure I’ll be tagging along on if my daughters every try).

My first real “career move” was researching at Harvard University – talk about the MECCA of inspiration!! But all that data & posture wasn’t the lifestyle for me – my soul craved deep CONNECTION & ACTION. Just as I was about to go on a new venture, I met my husband-to-be. He was in Boston for a whole day, and the stars aligned & exploded. He was an Army man, on R&R, going back to Afghanistan. I was a on a mission to make effective change & see the world.So I packed up my Harvard life, did a summer road trip across the US, & then moved to a remote village in South Korea to teach for a year.

At the end of that year, my soulmate finished his tour. We married in an enchanting castle and conceived our firstborn a few months later. We moved to Park City, and that’s when everything changed… synergizing motherhood, meaning, and money emerged as my true calling.  15 years, 6 kids, and 12 businesses later, and that calling is more potent than ever. 

I'm an unlikely CEO... but I'm also a living success story and proof of what you can do when you prioritize health, wealth, & joy on the daily.

Kicking closed doors open is my jam. Wanna have fun & do it together?
