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.

I am an autistic self-advocate and have first-hand experience with the pains of masking in the workplace. It's exhausting, right? Maybe you've known about your neurodiversity for a long time, or you got a formal diagnosis recently, or perhaps you've self-diagnosed yourself. One thing is true: It can be challenging to know how to advocate for yourself and get what you need in the workplace. I've been there and done that with companies big and small: Working with my managers to explain my needs, educate my team on my neurodiversity, and level up entire organizations about how to be more inclusive and equitable for neurodivergent folks. This can seem like a daunting task when people don't know the first thing about you. The good news is that I've got your back and can help take a telescope into your brain to figure out what's going on. What's going to make you successful? What's not working? And how can you articulate this to people at your job so they can have your back too? Let's work together on how to make you a kickass self-advocate!

Throughout my 10+ years in Big Tech, from Software Engineer to Senior PM and Coach at Microsoft, I've seen firsthand how critical strong communication is.
