About Me

My pure and plentiful upbringing emerged lakeside on the Prolific North Shore of Chicago, nurtured by a very dear community of family heritage and warm connectedness.

As my very unique neighbor, The Great Bruce Dern, once said, “I come from a place and was surrounded by individuals with great vision and a pioneering spirit who got things done!" My natural gift of helping people awakened at the age of eight when I was chosen by a tenacious teacher to care for a fellow grade school classmate who was struggling to form meaningful friendships. Later in high school, my role of caring continued when I was elected as a peer helper counselor for a student body of over 2,100 classmates, later to follow with being elected "Best Personality" in my class. After my acceptance to a category of one private college preparatory boarding school in New England, Maine, integrating character development, college academics, and family education for highly capable students reaching their full potential, I was elected as an admissions representative and selected as a caregiver for the headmaster's family by the headmaster of my school, began my volunteer work with the elderly, and graduated with honors. In college, I was personally selected by the student body president and elected a student senator. Conscientiously, my ability to connect with people was favorably received, as I embraced every opportunity to nurture my natural helping gift for the greater whole in my formative years.

My life's work is firmly rooted in focused principles and growth-moving experiences that guided, shaped, and transformed my self-awareness and family dynamic. Along my life's journey, I had the honor of being gifted with dedicated world-class mentors who I sought out throughout my flourishing years in all kinds of highly diverse, supportive, and challenging learning environments. I'm grateful to the singular vision leaders who faithfully fostered my talents and encouraged my innate abilities. Being guided by such unwavering commitments by those who believed in me cultivated my character and shaped me as an integral leader. Learning to own my courage of convictions and unique entrepreneurial initiatives toward the pursuit of excellence has vitalized many meaningful achievements of personal fulfillment and benefited my contributions to humanity immeasurably.

Driven by a burning desire to gain a true sense of singular vision leadership, and understanding in the American business world, I acquired extensive exposure working in both the Fortune 100 Corporate America and successful small business entrepreneurial arenas. From coaching top talent at Robert Half International, recruiting candidates for placement in finance, accounting, human resources, legal, adminstrative, technology, and creative companies in The Entertainment Capital of the World, to leading golden generation elders as a Lifestyle Manager at a 5-star Senior Living Residence on Lake Shore Drive, it was truly among the most rewarding personal yet corporate experiences of my life. Trailblazing at the forefront of American fashion for CK, which began in Chicago with my own 20-year brick-and-mortar independent small business boutique turned e-commerce company, and unleashing my creative singular vision upon the world, spanning all the way to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, was thrilling. Rounding out my 5-year downtown Chicago working experience tour in recruiting at Andersen, accounting at Leo Burnett, and tax at Tribune Company was an epic dream come true. Pioneering onward and paying it forward to our newly emerging generations, and connecting young people to their true being through the empowering self-awareness of my signature photography, was truly fulfilling. Perhaps what remains most meaningful is discovering my role and impact in a family legacy through a series of devotional and sacrificial sole caregiving experiences that I continue to this day. From the very core, I have been deeply immersed in the life matters and growth moves of both traditional 20th-century nuclear family structures and 21st-century modern family dynamics that rest anchored in the heartfelt soul of my nurturing foundation and compassionate nature.

For the last 30 years, my momentum and enriching results have helped contribute to the goals and greatness of highly diverse yet accomplished individuals and legendary leaders of all ages. I have specialized in guiding lively Centenarians, Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, Aristocrats, Political Families, Religious and Spiritual Leaders, Educators, Humanitarians, Medical Professionals, Lawyers, Entertainers, Entrepreneurs, Community Leaders, Business Executives, Athletes, Special Needs Individuals, and Creative Professionals. I am grateful to be a part of such grand collective shared visions and to have embraced the generosity of spirit that unites our leaders of humanity. The true impact of shifting society in positive ways is a deeply profound reality. I believe the passionate, courageous, and determined driving force behind all great human endeavors is within each and every one of us. Among the many lessons I have learned is discovering firsthand the valuable meaning of giving back by being a lifeline to those who sacrificed for the succession of my well-being. Another lesson is conditioning my natural abilities to perform at peak levels that continue to span into the prime of my present-day life. The most important lesson, however, has been coming full circle in the return to innocence, advocating extensively for three decades to uplift and celebrate the dignified spirit of elders seeking peaceful, safe passage upon reviewing their life journey.

I believe we must honor our family, devoted friends, mentors, role models, teachers, confidants, and virtuous leaders who have contributed to our joy, peace, and contentment. An individual's legacy has the promise to define a destiny and create victorious contributions to the powerful progress of our great country, with the gift of enrichment for all humanity.

I am driven to illuminate the thriving, singular vision of your ultimate success story. Together, let us ignite your full being and enlighten meaningful renewals of resolve bound by my guiding light and conscious commitment to your excellence. My biggest joy of accomplishment is delivering you deeply from your powerful whole being to the highest plateaus of your plentiful passage. 

All Great Things,
