My work as a coach is deeply personal for me.

As a law school student...

I battled huge obstacles to get through school and pass the California bar exam at a time when the passing standard was at its absolute highest.  (No pressure, right?) 

Some of my struggles?  

• I consciously suffered from stress, anxiety, and difficulty focusing. 
• I subconsciously suffered from imposter syndrome and a gripping fear of failure.
• I constantly worried about balancing law school, motherhood, marriage, and being a good daughter. 

Basically, I feared not knowing enough, not doing enough, and not being enough.   

I knew I HAD to find a better way of managing work, life, and my studies — no longer as a student— but as a professional. 

What ensued was an obsession (I see you Type-A's!) with learning how to make the best use of psychology to help me control the process instead of letting the process control me. 

I took (and failed) the bar, but diligently documented my recollections of everything that worked and didn’t. 

I dove in to the science on focus, flow, habits, mindset, mindfulness, best learning practices—every topic that would set me up me to achieve peak performance on test day. 

And I did. 

I figured out a research-based method that helped me— a first-gen lawyer— to pass when 60% of test takers failed, including 83% of repeaters.

But that wasn’t the real win.

The real transformation was in the way I began to live.

• I figured out how to manage ALL of my mind drama so that I could feel better at any moment;
• I built daily, disciplined habits that keep me grounded and thriving; and 
• I gained something bigger than any credential: unshakable self-respect and the kind of confidence that comes from knowing I can turn any adversity into advantage. 

As a professional... 

Early in my legal career, I realized that while attorneys are charged with upholding justice, the profession itself has a long way to go when it comes to reflecting the diversity of the people it serves. 

Power and decision-making often sit in the hands of a few, while the lived experiences of entire communities are left out of the conversation.

Voices like yours—women in law, first-gen professionals, underrepresented leaders with purpose-driven ideas—are still far too rare in the spaces where real change happens.

And I get why.

The legal field is hard to get into.  But staying in it, and thriving in it (especially without privilege or connections) takes a whole other level of grit.

It can be isolating.  It can be exhausting.  And it can make even the most brilliant and gritty among us question if we belong.

But here’s what I know: you are powerful beyond measure.

This is why I coach the next generation of leaders in law. 

I’m here for the justice seekers.  The bold thinkers and big-hearted change-makers who want to make waves in the profession and beyond.

I am on a mission to diversify the field of law. 

Not just in identity, but in thought, leadership, and impact.

It's an audacious goal, I know. 

But I take it one person at a time by helping first-gen and underrepresented lawyers overcome their biggest early hurdles: passing the bar and stepping confidently into the field.

This is what I want the legacy of my struggles to be— a victory for others, and a victory for you.  

Your victory won't be easy; there will be obstacles along the way. 

I hope to help you eliminate some of the additional obstacles you create for yourself.

You're used to blazing trails. 

But I know it can get lonely being "the only," and at some points on your journey you need someone with an unwavering belief in you an insider knowledge to help get you through.
