About

I have lived through burnout more times than I can count — skipping meals, abandoning exercise, and living for 5 pm and the weekends.

I used to think it was inevitable — that constantly pushing myself (and being pushed) beyond my physical and emotional limits was just part of the job. But as a public health professional and certified yoga and fitness instructor, I wasn’t engaging in my own best practice.

My experience pushed me to stop thinking of wellness as a checklist and start seeing it as a system that is shaped by where and how we live and work. While personal choices do matter, we can't “self-care” our way out of toxic workplaces, relationships, or systems that don’t support us.

I now define wellness as the balance between individual, social, professional, and environmental well-being. Wellness is not a lifestyle trend — it’s the foundation for how we live, work, and connect.

This belief has shaped my work. With dual Master’s degrees in Public Health (MPH) and Sociology (MA), and more than a decade of experience spanning corporate, nonprofit, higher education, healthcare, municipal, and fitness spaces, I bring a systems-thinking approach grounded in both strategy and lived experience.

My work has included:

Supporting survivors of gender-based violence through case management and trauma-informed systems change
Designing and evaluating public health and wellness programs in higher education, healthcare, and nonprofit settings

Leading social impact initiatives focused on community engagement and values-aligned grantmaking
Facilitating community engagement efforts rooted in listening and local partnership

Delivering accessible mindfulness and movement programming throughout Greater Boston
