Hi there!

I grew up in Orange County, California, where I was always drawn to the ocean. As a child, I could spend hours exploring tide pools, swimming, and playing with the water. The ocean was my first love, and it sparked a deep sense of connection to the natural world.

In high school, I started learning more about the environment and what was happening to the planet. I quickly realized I wanted to dedicate my life to ocean conservation and set my sights on becoming a marine biologist.

Throughout my undergraduate years, I worked on several research projects, but despite my passion for the cause, I felt unfulfilled. I kept pushing forward, convinced that this was the path for me, but something was missing.

Then, my world shifted. My senior year at UCLA, while deep in the process of writing my honors thesis and applying for research jobs, my Dad unexpectedly passed away.

He was my favorite person, and losing him felt like an irrevocable tragedy.

In the aftermath, I let my life fall apart in what, in hindsight, I now see as beautiful ways. I let go of anything that didn’t feel right and allowed myself to follow what felt good. This led me down a new path—one that I never could have predicted.

Desperate to understand what happened to my Dad and to find peace, I dove into spirituality. I devoured every book I could find, seeking answers. And what I discovered changed everything: We are eternal souls, simply having a human experience. The soul never dies, and your soul has a beautiful journey it’s meant to walk.
