People usually ask me how all of my interests fit together.

​

I've wondered that too. At first glance, they probably don't. I write children's books, conduct research, build mental health tools, speak at conferences, dance, and somehow find myself climbing mountains whenever my family suggests another adventure.

​

But to me, they've always been connected.

 

I've always been drawn to questions that sit between disciplines. Questions about identity, health, belonging, and how small ideas can make a meaningful difference in someone's life. Sometimes exploring those questions has led me to a research study. Other times it's become a children's book, a nonprofit, an app, or a workshop. I don't see these projects as separate accomplishments. I see them as different ways of exploring the same curiosity: how stories, science, movement, and service can come together to improve people's lives.

This website is a collection of those projects.

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy exploring them as much as I've enjoyed building them.
