My Path to the Stage
No one wakes up one day and becomes a speaker.
Every story, every setback, every lesson, every conversation, and every opportunity to learn helped shape the message I share today.
Over the last several years, I've intentionally invested in understanding personal growth, communication, leadership, and the power of our stories. Some of that learning came through professional programs. Much of it came through lived experience.
This page is a glimpse into the path that brought me to the stage, and the work that continues to shape the speaker and journal poet I am today.
