Building careers students love.
My goal is to help students articulate what their dream job looks like and give them the practical tools to go get it.

Educational Initiative
The Noticing Project
An initiative I co-founded to help high school and college students develop self-awareness and reflection skills. In a world increasingly shaped by AI, the capacity to notice is more valuable than ever — to pay attention to yourself, your reactions, and your environment.
The Noticing Project provides frameworks, activities, and classroom resources designed to build this skill systematically.
