Mi trayectoria profesional
Utilization Management Specialist
Hawai‘i State Department of Health · Honolulu, HI
2016 – 2025
I led statewide mental health programs focused on crisis stabilization, peer support, and long-term recovery. I worked closely with interdisciplinary teams to create systems of care that center the client experience, foster resilience, and promote sustainable wellness. My role included developing strategies that directly improved the lives of individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and crisis moments.
Crisis Hotline Screener
Hawai‘i Crisis Line · Honolulu, HI
2015 – 2020
Every day, I supported people at their most vulnerable — those in crisis, those thinking about suicide, those overwhelmed by pain. I helped them feel seen, safe, and supported, using empathetic listening and cognitive-behavioral tools to guide them through the storm toward clarity and calm. This work shaped the heart of my coaching practice: holding space with compassion and purpose.
Behavioral Health Coach
Noom Inc. · Remote
2020 – 2022
At Noom, I supported over 250 clients as they worked toward better mental, emotional, and physical health. I used CBT and Motivational Interviewing to help clients reframe self-limiting beliefs, manage stress, and build lasting behavior change. Coaching sessions focused on mindfulness, goal-setting, and emotional regulation — all of which are foundational in the work I do today.
Creative Entrepreneur
GP Element Photography · Hawai‘i
2010 – 2019
For nearly a decade, I ran a successful photography business that taught me the power of authentic connection. Capturing people’s stories through imagery gave me deep insight into how self-expression, vulnerability, and confidence intersect — tools I now bring into coaching to help clients rediscover their voice and personal power.
Team Lead
Target Corporation · Kailua, HI
2014 – 2015
In this leadership role, I worked with a diverse team and hundreds of daily guests, helping people feel heard and supported in fast-paced, high-pressure situations. I gained a deeper understanding of how people navigate stress, overwhelm, and self-worth — experience that laid the foundation for the compassionate, high-integrity approach I provide today.
Senior Mental Health Case Manager
Breaking Boundaries · Kapolei, HI
2013 – 2014
I supported adults living with mental health challenges in rebuilding their lives, achieving housing stability, and reconnecting with their purpose. I specialized in helping clients set realistic, meaningful goals.
Substance Abuse Counselor
CARE Hawai‘i Inc. · Honolulu, HI
2011 – 2013
I provided trauma-informed counseling to individuals overcoming addiction and rebuilding their self-worth. Through 1:1 support and group sessions, I helped clients navigate shame, build accountability, and create plans for lasting recovery. Much of that emotional resilience work still informs how I support coaching clients through major life shifts.
Life Coach & Peer Support Trainer
Memorial Counseling Associates · Long Beach, CA
2008 – 2009
I coached individuals through major life transitions — whether they were starting over, healing old wounds, or building self-confidence. I also trained peer support staff in how to provide compassionate, respectful care. My coaching approach is rooted in this client-first, strengths-based model.
Hospital Discharge Case Manager
Community Hospital of Long Beach · Long Beach, CA
2008 – 2009
I helped patients with severe mental illness transition from hospital care to independent living. I advocated for their needs, secured housing and treatment resources, and built aftercare plans that promoted stability.
Transition Specialist
Orange County Conservation Corps · Anaheim, CA
2007 – 2008
I counseled at-risk youth, many on probation, as they worked through trauma, mental health challenges, and societal reintegration. I introduced creative tools like art therapy to help young people process emotions and rediscover meaning. I carry this same creativity and heart-centered approach into every coaching session.
Admissions Advisor & Career Coach
American InterContinental University · Los Angeles, CA
2006 - 2007
I helped students identify their goals, build confidence in their potential, and map out future paths. From career exploration to mindset shifts, this early work set the stage for the career- and life-coaching tools I now bring to clients seeking transformation.
