I'm a big believer in empowerment and empathy, and how the perfect combination of skillsets can enable individuals, teams, and organizations to unlock unforeseen potential and results that can be sustainable.  I draw from my own personal successes (and failures) to do the absolute best that I can to bring structure, communication, collaboration, and organization to build winning teams.

​

I was born a go-getter, achieving my Eagle Scout of America award at age 15 to becoming a Certified Yoga Instructor at 25, born from a genuine and honest desire to connect with others, and the world around me, in a manner that is kind, resilient, awkward, brave, and nurturing. I've lived abroad in Chile, Mexico, and Spain. My heritage is of South Asian, Indo-Pak descent.  I speak Spanish as a first language. 

 

For as long as I can remember, I have cared deeply about bringing these gifts along with me wherever I show-up: whether it's captaining a sports team, organizing a rally, conducting a technical training curriculum to be delivered in a foreign language, launching a podcast, or even hosting and throwing a boat party for an entire class of graduate students (yes, I have done all of these things!) 

​

My life journey has not followed a particular nor specific path, and I've learned to be comfortable with this and own it proudly as I get older (and hopefully, wiser). There have been rough patches along the way that have stretched me into modes where choosing courage, bravery, vulnerability, and whole-heartedness was my only path to survival.
