Some say I am a walking paradox, and the truth is... I wouldn’t have it any other way.

​

I built my career as a multidisciplinary leader specializing in deconstructing complex systems to identify root causes. My professional journey—ranging from managing international shipping logistics to supervising 24/7 emergency response centers during global crises for the Federal Government—honed my ability to analyze raw data and engineer sustainable solutions.

​

Yet even before my own systemic collapse, I realized logic alone wasn't solving our real-world human problems. Driven by a desperate need to help my own family heal, I began searching for tools that actually worked. What started as attending a single class quickly evolved from a search for desperate healing into an undeniable passion. Over the last twelve years, I built a comprehensive holistic toolkit as a Licensed Spiritual Teacher and Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, earning additional certifications in energy healing, breathwork, and natural therapies. For the past decade, I have brought this work to life as the Founder of Altering Pathways. I don't just speak project management—I speak the language of the soul.

​

Through these journeys, I realized a universal truth: whether analyzing and rewriting an engine's operations manual, leading teams of engineers, guiding agents through assisting with post-tsunami searches abroad, or standing in the wreckage of personal collapse, the mechanics of rebuilding remain identical.

​

As a desperate woman, I survived total systemic collapse, rose from the ashes, and reverse-engineered my survival. In doing so, I built a bridge across three worlds: structured project management, systems thinking, and raw soul-healing. Now, as a Human Blueprint Strategist, Author and Founder of Altering Pathways, I'm sharing that bridge with the world.

​

The 250+ pounds I lost is simply the most visible result of my multi-layered transformations—the tangible proof used to forge this framework. But far more important than the physical weight, I fostered unshakeable internal stability. Now, my mission is to hold the lantern and help you decode your own internal blueprint until you are ready to hold the lantern for yourself.
