As far back as I can remember my life has been pressed with expectations that I was bound to follow. This idea of what I “should” be doing with my life left me unsatisfied and depressed throughout my childhood and early adolescence. Struggling with my Gender identity and Mental Health was an everyday reality for me. As I got older, confronting my struggles became a place of growth instead of a place of fear. Now as a public speaker and certified life/transitions coach I utilize my experience/education to challenge and empower others in being authentically themselves.”
