Certified coach, ADHD life coach, licensed lawyer and former executive. I’ve worked across higher ed, creative industries, tech, government, non-profit, and entrepreneurship. I’m also an artist who recently reconnected with my voice through music project, AK AltA.

I have experienced several life transformations and realities: executive leadership, becoming a parent, divorce, grief, neurodivergent family dynamics, non-traditional relationships, and career changes.

I am a voracious learner and ardent seeker. I’m into leadership development, neuroscience, social history, and the way we perceive or create our realities. I am IFS (Internal Family Systems) trained and trauma informed. I have worked intentionally with altered states including with psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, dance, and other embodiment practices - to feel more, see better, and allow myself to unfold. It is from some of these experiences that reconnection with myself as an artist has emerged.

In all of this, I’ve deeply explored what it means to truly integrate insight: to take what we learn about our values, needs, and boundaries, and enliven these by moving into more aligned ways of being and living.

This mix of professional depth and lived experience means I can meet you where you are with rigour and compassion, structure and creativity.
