My journey began the day a shard of metal tore through my eye, shattering my physical vision—and awakening a deeper one: inner sight. That moment set me on a lifelong path of exploring human potential, self-worth, and the art of leading with courage.
For over two decades, I’ve helped leaders around the world integrate every part of themselves into authentic self-worth. The core of my work is synthesis—bringing strengths and struggles together into a unified source of clarity, influence, and resilience.
Today, I bring this mission to the vision sciences and beyond. Whether speaking to ophthalmologists, researchers, or industry leaders, my goal is the same: to empower those who restore the gift of sight with the deeper power of insight. Audiences leave not just inspired, but transformed—sharper in focus, steadier under pressure, and ready to lead with conviction.

A world where vision science professionals and industry leaders practice synthesis—integrating strengths and struggles into a whole self—and lead from inner clarity. When those who restore and advance the gift of sight live from true worth, they also bring the power of insight, inspiring transformation in their teams, organizations, and the lives they touch.

My mission is to serve the global vision community by translating human potential research into experiences that empower leaders to integrate every part of themselves. I help ophthalmologists, researchers, innovators, and industry leaders gain the inner clarity to move beyond surface motivation, lead with conviction, and transform doubt into presence and pressure into peak performance—so they can continue giving the world both the gift of sight and the power of insight.
