The gym has always been my happy place, and I’ve often been asked: “What are you training for?” My answer: “Life. I’m training for life.”
I have spent over a decade building my expertise in wellness and wealth. I find it no coincidence that these two categories have been my focus, as Virgil once said, “The greatest wealth is health.”
I spend the majority of my time as the vice president of stakeholder experience for Satori Capital, a Texas-based, multi-strategy investment firm founded upon the principles of conscious capitalism. Prior to that, I worked as an auditor for KPMG focusing on financial services clients. Around this time, I experienced a state of burnout resulting from a lack of fulfillment in multiple areas of life and ended up in the hospital. As part of my healing, I followed my passion for fitness and drastically shifted careers to a role for lululemon athletica, opening the first and only store in Fort Worth, TX.
My career journey from audit to athletic apparel to a culture-centric investment firm represents the road we all often take to discover work that brings us joy – work that aligns both our strengths and interests. My journey is a testament to the fact that our work, wealth, and wellness are closely related.
While the world of wellness had always been a constant in my life, it quickly became a non-negotiable. This is where the Train For Life philosophy was born. I learned that wellness is so much more than fitness and food. It’s multidimensional – it is our relationships, the work we do, the habits we keep, the thoughts we think, and more.
Training for life is a commitment I’ve made to learning, listening, and investing in personal fulfillment and supporting others in doing the same. This hasn’t always been easy. We aren’t taught how to do this in school, which is why, since 2014, I return each year to my alma mater to take students through Optimal Performance Training, so they, too, can Train For Life.
You can think of this page as a virtual coffee moment, and my hope is that what I’ve shared here is what you might learn about me if we were to sit down together. Perhaps it also serves as a reminder that your story, just like mine, is unique and full of possibility. We are all more powerful and capable when we do the work to take care of ourselves, share our stories, and support one another. Consider this my invitation to you to let your light shine, share your story, and know that I’m here to support you however I can along the way.
I live in Fort Worth, TX with my goldendoodle, Coach (because everyone needs one), and am actively involved in the wellness and business community, a connoisseur of memorable experiences, and an advocate for living optimally in and outside of the workplace.
