Bio

With over six years of experience as a dedicated educator, I bring a strong foundation in teaching, communication, and personal development to my mentorship approach. After transitioning from the classroom to the corporate world, I now apply my Business degree from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) in a dynamic professional setting, combining strategic thinking with a passion for growth and leadership.

Alongside my corporate and educational journey, I am also an accomplished acting coach with a rich background in award-winning performances across film, television commercials, and other film productions. My years in the entertainment industry have sharpened my skills in storytelling, confidence building, and creative expression. Tools I love sharing with others to help them find their voice and presence, whether in a boardroom or on camera.

As a mentor in real-life, I strive to empower others by blending practical business insights, real-world teaching experience, and creative coaching to support each mentee’s unique path.

Prior Experience

During my two years at Sierra Nevada Job Corps, I had the privilege of personally mentoring over 300 students as they transitioned into adulthood. I guided them in developing essential life skills, building confidence, and exploring career options that aligned with their strengths and interests. My role involved one-on-one coaching, goal setting, and helping each student carve out a clear, actionable path.

Why Mentor?

Connecting with young people who are at an impressionable age is crucial for the future of our community. It is important to impact those who are at a crossroads to help guide them to a path in life that they will feel has a meaningful purpose. It is also important for the young adults of today to have a positive outlook in life, so they can build a brighter future for tomorrow.
