From Investigator to Doctor

I didn’t just study identity in a textbook; I lived it across nine states and 23 countries. I chose a non-traditional path—one that included changing careers three times and making the conscious, empowered choice to be child-free. I know what it’s like to stand outside the ‘norm’ and finally feel at home there.

I realized that being a smart, strong-willed, multi-cultural woman wasn't a "case to be solved"—it was a masterpiece to be claimed.

I have a Master’s Degree in Forensic Science from George Washington University and have worked as a forensic artist-investigator for over a decade and wrote a murder mystery series. Then I earned another Master’s Degree in Urban and Environmental Planning from Arizona State University and finally earned a doctorate in Sociology from George Mason University. My ultimate goal has always been to reduce the amount of suffering in the world. I hope to help reduce your suffering through coaching, too. I felt the gut-wrenching pain and confusion of bad relationships and not trusting myself, and I want to help others feel the relief that I have since finding Rori’s tools and learned to be open and communicate with myself and a healthy man.

I used my background in sociology and my transition into relationship coaching to do the "forensic work" on my own heart. I moved from self-hatred to self-honoring. I stopped being a "chameleon" for others and started prioritizing myself. And in doing so, I finally attracted the best relationship of my life.
