A love and passion for storytelling and communication is the common thread that ties together my career that's spanned radio hosting, assistant directing in Bollywood, leading a global non-profit, heading up product innovation research for the Netflix Studio, and teaching UX design and product development at UCLA. I've pulled from the classic storytelling mechanics I learned back in film school and have applied them in completely different environments to tell powerful stories for business, social, and human impact. I coach students from all walks of life- from students trying to capture their purpose in higher education to career pivoters wayfinding their way through a new life narrative. Your story is the living legacy of your work in the universe. It's the thing people remember. I help make it count.

When I got my degree in Communication Studies, I didn't know how it was going to apply in the future -- but almost 15 years later, I've learned, everything is communication!
