"I am driven by a desire to make sense of this human experience and live a purpose-driven lifestyle. It is without a doubt that my own personal journey, which included growing up in an immigrant family and experiencing a wide variety of life-altering events are what led me to this path. When I'm not working, I am devoted to many life-enriching and nourishing activities that I know will help me sustain. To me, it's essential that I give myself radical permission to live life on my own terms while seeking to embody the very same principles embedded in the space I offer others."
