AT HEART

I've traveled five continents. I'm a California born New Yorker. I moved to New York City in 1991. In some ways I thrived, and in other ways I did the best I could to survive. After 16 years in Manhattan, I still believe what my childhood friend told me at age 6, 'God Makes Dirt and Dirt don't Hurt!" I'm still grounded by nature; not afraid of bugs or little creatures -- well, when someone shoves a toad in my face, I get a little freaked out!

PROFESSIONAL BIO

I'm a curator, branding + marketing expert, creative director and ameteur film maker. Toward the end of my 15 year career in New York, I decided to wear my true colors and the idea for FREEDOM OFFICE was born. Together with my twin sister and my great friend, I developed FREEDOM OFFICE to guide women through a personal discovery process that empowers them to dream big, set goals and supports them through the process of going for it where ever they are in the world.

During my early career as professional actress and most recent career as a global business woman, I quickly learned the power of personal development. As I continuously develop myself, I am realizing my goals rapidly. FREEDOM OFFICE is currently in development with a team of creatives from Hong Kong, Tunisia, Australia, Poland, Macedonia, the Philippines and more!

PHILOSOPHY

I think that young women are especially challenged with wanting to impact the world and find financial success at the same time? In my experience, we are in a NEW era. One without boundaries or rules. The only thing stopping us is a lack of role models, a global community of women with shared values and our fear of going against the norm. I've worked through ALL of these and am ready to be a role model for other women who want freedom in their work + lifestyle. My vision started ten years ago and is finally coming to fruition. I believe FREEDOM OFFICE will be a global revolution in how women choose to work? Today, how many people have the opportunity to travel and work at the same time?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing.com in 2008 and have gotten to know people in a way that is not possible without sharing morning coffee and late night chatter.

While I'm in development with FREEDOM OFFICE, I am living on a tight budget. I am incredibly grateful to meet new friends and stay on a couch. When I have my own place in May 2016, I am thrilled to host! Please contact me at anytime?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2007, I left a highly successful career in New York City. Sold my Condo in Manhattan. And started on my path of self discovery to uncover my life's purpose. This was quite a shock to the system and not as easy as I thought it would be, but it has changed my perspective on humanity and guided me on my chosen path.
