In 2017, I was found lying on the floor with blood coming out of my right ear.
I was in a coma for 21 days and woke up to find that I had suffered a traumatic brain injury. I couldn’t stand up, walk, swallow, eat, talk or write well—I had lost all my abilities.
Half of my skull was gone, and my right eye was blind. But even in my darkest moment, I discovered that I still had something left: grit, determination, and the will not just to survive, but to thrive. This experience has taught me the importance of pushing beyond our limits and embracing the power of resilience. I now share my story to help others see the dynamic nature of who we truly are, how we love, and why it matters.

As an entrepreneur, speaker, and advocate for mental health and resilience, I bring over 20 years of experience working for Fortune 500 companies such as P&G, Uniqlo, and Facebook.
My work involved providing business strategies, integrating digital marketing, and building relationships with C-level executives in local, regional, and global marketing assignments. I have lived in 10 different countries on 5 continents, managing every continent except Antarctica.
Since my traumatic brain injury, I have founded MindNation, a mental healthcare support company for employees, and TBI Spark, a non-profit organization that supports and raises awareness for Traumatic Brain Injury warriors and caregivers.
Through my work, I strive to help others develop resilience, grit, and mental strength in the face of challenges.
As an experienced TEDx speaker who has spoken to over 15,000 people, I share my personal story of resilience and overcoming challenges in the hope of inspiring others to embrace their own obstacles and turn them into opportunities. I am committed to making a positive impact on the world, one person at a time, even with a below average brain.
