We are all driven by something in our lives that makes us believe in change. Many experiences of loss created different emotions in me. I lost my sister, Tish, in 2001 to a rare tissue cancer and my maternal grandfather and father in 2010. They died almost a month apart due to colon/prostate and kidney/liver/lung cancer, respectively. Shortly after that, in 2011, my mother was diagnosed with early-onset dementia and, after a sad progression of the disease, died in 2019. The lack of self-care and commitment led to tragic circumstances and built an urgency in me to learn the skills to help people's mental and physical wellness and well-being. As a Life Coach, I've had the opportunity to touch so many lives and learn how to meet people where they are and get them where they need to be. I continue to learn, grow, and use my experiences to increase awareness in my family and community.
