How we see ourselves shapes how we move through the world- and that's where my work begins.

Through Halo & Kin, I design and lead immersive, human- centered experiences that help young people build confidence, develop clarity and step into the most powerful version of themselves.
 

To date, I’ve reached 2,000+ students across schools and community organizations in New Jersey and New York, delivering experiences that don't just inspire, but equip people with tools they can use immediately.
 

What makes my approach different is the career I brought with me.  Over 25 years as a senior leader at companies like Mars Wrigley and Unilever, and as an invited guest lecturer at leading universities - gave me something most youth development practitioners don't have: a deep, firsthand understanding of what professional excellence, communication, and self-awareness actually looks like in the real world.  Those rooms taught me what young people are rarely taught- how to communicate with authority, lead through uncertainty, and know your own value before someone else defines it for you.
 

The social and emotional skills I teach - resilience, self-regulation, identity, and purpose - aren't frameworks I studied.  They're tools I needed, used, and refined across 25 years of high-stakes environments before I ever walked into a classroom.  I don't teach theory.  I teach what works in the rooms I've been in. 

 

Today my work spans two connected spaces.  In schools and community organizations, I work with students and emerging leaders to develop identity, leadership, and future readiness.
 

With educators and professional teams, I facilitate staff professional development sessions that strengthen communication, self-leadership, and team culture.
 

In both settings I bring a storytelling-based, emotionally intelligent approach - because I believe inner stability and outward success are inseparable.

​

I meet students where they are and guide them toward who they're becoming.
