I was raised in culturally diverse environments, moving and traveling with my family as military orders carried us along our path. I was born in Panama, matured across ten states, and have traveled globally besides. My colorful, well-seasoned upbringing sparked a passion for broad understanding of peoples and cultures. In my efforts at seeking deeper understanding, I completed a bachelor's degree in psychology.

For most of my life, the world has shown it wasn’t designed for me. A pair of recent late-life diagnoses revealed the expansive depths of that feeling. Living on the autism spectrum with ADHD presents many unique challenges in a world that often looks purpose-built against my success. But innovation is my strong suit and creativity is my gift.

Connecting with people through culture engendered compassion toward all; in aiming to help create a future where all may experience compassion, I turned to the workplace. The industrial world needs psychological analysis - despite being comprised largely of buildings and infrastructure, the beating heart of any company is its human element. I soon developed enough insight to see a heart aching for change in a system largely oblivious to the pain within it; change can come from anywhere, but lasting change often comes from culture.
