My Story:
In 2023, I married my high-school sweetheart, and together we’ve found our home—and our hearts—in the vibrant Downtown Detroit. Ever since middle school, I’ve been captivated by the idea of becoming the best version of myself, whether that’s as a partner, leader, friend, or future parent. I’m driven by a deep passion for growth, not just in myself, but in those around me. That’s why I immerse myself in the study and practice of positive psychology—transforming its principles into action. I work in HR at a Fortune 10 company, where I leverage positive psychology to inspire and lead teams toward their fullest potential. I’m always seeking new ways to expand my knowledge, share what I’ve learned, and help expand the reach of well-being in both the workplace and beyond.
Words of Wisdom:
“My experience is what I agree to attend to.” – William James
Morning Ritual:
I replaced scrolling Instagram with scrolling my own personal photos (my own positivity portfolio) so that I start my day reminiscing on joyful moments from my life (not others’ lives and sending myself into social comparison). I also recently added music to my morning routine!
A Little Known Fact About Me…
I never thought I could ever be a “runner.” Up until 2020, I couldn’t run a mile. In 2024, I ran my first marathon, and I’m training for my second in 2025.
