As a coach dedicated to fostering total career and life satisfaction, I guide individuals to ignite their passions, get paid for their purpose, and step into lives they truly love. By integrating Carl Jung’s theories on the human psyche, insights from social neuroscience, and principles of Eastern spirituality, I help people identify the root causes of their challenges and work through them to achieve true lasting life change.

I originally earned my Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, a top-five program in the nation. During my nearly decade-long tenure at Microsoft, I was driven by an obsession to climb the corporate ladder, quickly advancing to a Senior PM role. However, I found myself burnt out before the age of 30. I realized my self-worth had become tied to my job title. While I’ll always love leveraging technology for productivity and creativity, I discovered that software engineering wasn’t my true calling as a career. What I craved was genuine freedom and agency over my time.

Fortunately, in 2022, I answered my own call to adventure amid the rise of web3. This new path propelled me to leave the corporate world and dive headfirst into startup culture, solopreneurship, and eventually, entrepreneurship. Through this journey, I uncovered my purpose: helping others become their own boss. This path enables me to this day to pursue my two greatest passions - personal development and business.

During my post-corporate transition, I embraced true shadow work coaching and graduated from CreativeMind, an ICF-certified coaching program. This process required me to undergo my own transformative journey with peer coaches, equipping me with proven techniques to now guide others effectively. Much like the boosts from magical potions in video games, my approach with Double XP Coaching accelerates personal development to unlock your untapped potential by working together as two minds are better than one.
