The Creativity catalyst
Helping you tap into your creativity to unlock your unique brilliance and share it with the world
I believe EVERY single human being is a creative and has a genius within them. Many people have only scratched the surface of their potential, though, holding back from living the life that LIGHTS THEM UP often out of self-doubt, fear of failure, or performance pressure.
How do you create for yourself a daily life that excites you and fills your cup?
What is the key to finding professional success AND personal fulfillment in your career?
What will help you build meaningful connections and relationships in your personal and professional life?
It’s being YOU and bringing the genius that is YOU to everything you do.
It’s exploring and expressing your individuality. It’s discovering the brilliance and creativity derived from YOUR beautiful mind and unique life experiences.
My mission is to inspire, encourage, and guide people to utilize their creativity and unique mind (shaped by their personal experience of life) to unlock their brilliance.
With 13+ years of experience as a space physicist/aerospace engineer, I have come to a powerful realization: It’s our creative minds and thirst for exploring that fuel our greatest and most innovative contributions. Not only that, it’s what makes our everyday experiences, in and outside of the workplace, most rich and enjoyable.
Through my signature Explorer Mindset Framework, I guide leaders, entrepreneurs/business owners, and general professionals to rewire their brains for habitual exploratory thinking, lean into their creative edge, discover their inner genius, bring it confidently to the workplace and beyond, and guide their teams in doing the same.
I help people:
Spark greater engagement and productivity in their work (and life)
Make impactful and innovative contributions in their careers
Find personalized tools to adapt to challenges and changes in their professional and personal lives
Find more enjoyment, excitement, and meaning in their work
My Explorer Mindset Framework is unconventional due to my diverse background, including my dedication to performing arts as a ballet dancer, contributions to scientific discovery as a scientist/engineer, adventurous exploration as an alpine rock and ice climber, and resilient adaptation after developing a post-COVID-19 neurological disorder.
Whether it’s through
personalized 1:1 coaching
hosting immersive creative workshops
giving mind-stretching keynote speeches
I utilize my signature Explorer Mindset Framework to help leaders and business owners find their creative edge, push boundaries in their business, and get absolutely lit up by their work.
Your sense of EXPLORATION
An explorer embraces what I call the “4 C’s”:
CURIOSITY
Exploring what could be possible, what you desire, and how you can create
CREATIVITY
Exploring your creative energy to get inspired, feel connected/engaged, create from your vision, problem-solve, and adapt
COURAGE
Building the courage to trust yourself/your process/the unknown, explore your ideas, and take action
CONNECTION
Exploring your connection to your world, your self, and other humans to enhance your creativity, give/receive support, find a sense of purpose, and bring your visions to life
I help you embody the 4 C’s and utilize them to UNLOCK YOUR GENIUS and create an aligned life that you are stoked on through my UNCONVENTIONAL, yet POWERFUL Live to Explore! practices.
I have been harnessing the power of creativity and the explorer mindset for years.
By embracing the 4 C’s and learning how to play to my strengths, I was able to
get my PhD in Space Physics and land a dream job working on a NASA space mission.
partake in many incredible explorations in the mountains as an alpine rock/ice climber and skier.
find joy in my life and adapt/regain the ability to climb, ski, and work after developing a form of Long Covid that significantly impaired my motor and cognitive function.
It would be an honor to guide, support, and encourage you EACH step of the way of your own creative journey.

free offerings
Access all of the free goodies I am putting out there: from guides, to events I am hosting, to podcast and guest-speaking appearances.
My approach:
My approach is custom-tailored to the client and the process unfolds according to what is most in alignment with YOU.
We will explore practices of uninhibited:
Curiosity
Imagination
Play
Adventure
Connection
These practices are proven to be very effective in igniting habitual creative thinking, pushing past fear to initiate courageous action, and helping you learn how to build powerful and meaningful connections.
Then we will apply this exploratory mindset to discovering your brilliance, your desires, creating your vision, and taking action to bring it to life.
I have a very hands-on, trial-and-error approach because I want to make sure you get the support you need to develop the ‘muscles’, habits, and tools that will be most successful in helping YOU get the most out of our coaching and be able to apply it in your life for years to come.
I have found that nature often brings out the best in us and helps us get in touch with our most pure, free, and creative selves. I often take my clients out into the outdoors to engage their senses and spark their curiosity/creativity (for in-person coaching) or encourage them to do it on their own, as long as it is in alignment for them.
In general, I believe in LIVING and EXPERIENCING. In a world where so much information is being given to us, it can be hard to actually embody what we consume. I am here by your side to explore and get messy with you, not just throw information at you!
I have devoted much of my life to play and activities in nature and have been reaping the benefits of the great outdoors for years. This approach has been transformational for me in finding my own love for life during my most trying times, including my personal experiences with debilitating mental and physical health challenges.
A big part of my approach is to relate to you, feel for you, appreciate you, offer you compassion, love, trust and a safe space for you to be YOU. I am 100% in your corner and committed to helping you live the life you’ve imagined for yourself, from the bottom of my heart. I’ve lived it myself and will give you nothing short of everything I have needed and desired in my own exploratory process.
YOU have the power to live an engaging, purpose-driven, lit-the-f*ck-up life..now, let’s make it happen!
