I am a Mindset Coach that integrates the teachings of the Bible and Psychology. My education is a BA & MA in Psychology. I grew up in Long Beach, CA where there was constant activation of the fight or flight responses due to gang violence and lack of resources to live a normal life. I lost my oldest brother due to gang violence, which changed the course of my family and my life forever. I use the experiences of overcoming poverty, addiction, oppression and loss as a way to help others own their struggle in order to heal and move forward into their calling. Common problems I had to conquer coming out of the gang violence environment is: negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, sense-of-self, self-efficacy, self-sabotage, emotional regulation, discipline of impulses and time management. These are the same topics I speak about and also coach others on as majority of the time it is all just in the head. These mental blocks starve us of the life that we are supposed to have. That is why I am on a mission to spread the word, that when we own every part of our struggle and journey, is when we can overcome it.

AUTHOR, SPEAKER, Consultant & PROUD OWNER OF AN ADHD BRAIN I help executives & entrepreneurs break through their biggest challenges using mind hacks, so they can have the revenue, time, and impact they’ve always dreamed of. Do you or your team struggle with focus and productivity? You aren’t alone. Look around at any overly populated restaurant, classroom, or sidewalk and you’ll notice that nearly everyone is distracted. Meanwhile, 70% of the US workforce reports feeling distracted at work, according to Udemy. This lack of focus can prevent you from reaching your goals, feeling connected, and feeling fulfilled — all critical for entrepreneurs & executives to perform at their best. I would know… I was diagnosed with a severe form of ADHD as a child. As a kid, I was constantly in the principal’s office for disrupting the class and not paying attention. I struggled to make good grades. At home, not only could I not sit still during dinner, but I actually would get under and on top of the table. Because of this, I was put on Ritalin in the second grade. While it helped me perform better in school, it also made me feel dead inside. I was like a zombie without a personality. I decided that I didn’t want to spend my life in a medicated haze and got off of Ritalin in 8th grade. As a result of getting off my medication, my grades plummeted. I even had a friend’s mother tell my I wasn’t welcomed in her home if I was off my medication. I was constantly told I would never achieve success. It was the great inventor Henry Ford who said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t -- you're right.” This quote inspired me to chase my dreams, in spite of all the challenges. I obtained a B.S. in Psychology from the Pennsylvania State University and certification as a hypnotherapist, finding the tools needed to achieve focus along the way. Now, I use my understanding of the human mind in my keynote speeches & workshops to share simple-but-effective tools to achieve your goals in a fun and compelling way through interactive exercises. Packed with information and business tactics, each of my presentations is designed to empower entrepreneurs and professionals with the skills they need to elevate their teams and organizations.
