Iʼve had the privilege of living a life shaped by learning, change, and reinvention.

As the child of a military family, I grew up moving around the world, living in places like Germany, South Korea, Hong Kong, UK and across the United States. That experience taught me something early: the ability to learn, adapt, and connect with people matters more than having all the answers. It shaped how I see the world and ultimately shaped the work I do today.

My path wasnʼt traditional. I struggled in school and eventually dropped out of high school as a teenager. Years later, I discovered something that changed my life forever: learning is a skill. Once I learned how to learn, everything changed. That journey eventually led me to earn multiple degrees, including a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, and build a global career in learning, leadership, and human development. But I never forgot where I started, and honestly, I never want to.

Today, I serve as Chief Learning & Development Officer at BDO Canada, teach in the CLO doctoral program at Penn, and speak around the world about the future of work, leadership, learning, and human potential. But underneath all the titles and accomplishments is a belief I carry deeply:

Learning changes lives.

Not just professionally. Personally. Emotionally. Financially.
Learning creates possibility. It gives people options. It helps us
