My Story

I’ve always believed people are meant to do something that lights them up. When I was seven, I started my first nonprofit idea to build basketball gyms for kids with special needs because I just wanted everyone to feel included. I didn’t really know what a nonprofit was, I just knew I wanted everyone to feel included.

At nineteen, I was diagnosed with a rare cancer, and my world flipped. I started writing a blog where I dumped every real time thought, fear, and breakthrough. It wasn’t polished, it wasn’t planned, it was just me. And somehow, people found it. Thousands started reading. People from all over reached out to share their own stories, their own pain, their own reasons to keep going.

I made conversations. I met people where they were and I talked about life, gratitude, second chances, and laughter. I just wanted to show up, not through a big campaign or corporate push. And without ever asking for a single dollar, we raised over $10,000 for cancer research.

Now at 21, I am a 4.0 Leadership student at Purdue, and inspiring entrepreneur who uses the world’s largest stages to ignite mass movements of resilience. I work to travel the globe not just as a speaker, but as a dynamic voice translating the strategy of survival into the blueprint for success.
