My Journey So Far

I’m a creator, product strategist, and wellness facilitator based in Orange County, California. After leaving the 9-5 corporate life in 2023, I’ve been exploring new ways to build, create, and share what feels most meaningful to me.

My journey with mindfulness began in 2018 as a way to navigate stress and anxiety in the fast-paced world of tech. Over time, it became more than just a practice—it became a way of living, teaching me the power of presence, self-connection, and aligning with what truly matters.

Now, I bring together my experience in technology, wellness, and experiential design to create products, events, and content that empower people to live with more clarity, creativity, and intention.

I’m building Gentle World Collective as a platform to share these ideas—through live experiences, thoughtful digital tools, and community-driven conversations.

Thanks for stopping by—I’m excited to share this journey with you!

  • Mindfulness needs to be kindled and nurtured, protected from the winds of a busy life or a restless and tormented mind, just as a small flame needs to be sheltered from strong gusts of air.

  • I love this life, even in its hard places.

  • When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that last blow that did it — but all that gone before.

  • I will share with you my hopes and dreams for a true human country that is founded on the values of justice, fairness, inclusion, equality, diversity, and the two basic human rights: the right to be different and the right to belong.

  • In the end, you're just happy you were there - with your eyes open - and lived to see it.
