About Your Coach
I believe that resilience is built through experience, perseverance, and the willingness to grow beyond life’s challenges. My journey as a resilience coach, mentor, and automotive professional has been shaped by personal hardships and a deep commitment to helping others rebuild their lives.
My passion for automotive repair began at 16 when my father taught me the basics of car maintenance. That early spark led me to pursue a lifelong career in that industry, gaining extensive knowledge of both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles.
In 2022 my life took an unexpected turn when I survived the tragic Club Q shooting. That experience, along with the loss of my mother a year prior, reshaped my perspective on resilience and personal growth. Fueled with determination, I turned to coaching and mentorship as a way help others navigate trauma, regain confidence, and take control of their lives.
Through Live Recalibrated, I provide trauma-informed coaching that blends practical skill-building with emotional resilience. Whether it’s through group coaching with hands-on automotive learning or individual support sessions, my goal is to empower others to rebuild, recalibrate, and move forward with strength.
You are capable of overcoming life’s toughest challenges. Let’s navigate this journey together.
