mountains around the world with my donor’s heart, planted the seed of my belief that there is no “impossible.”

My heart transplant doctors once told me not to worry but rather leave that up to them. I took that advice to heart (no pun intended) and share that same advice to my clients, telling them to leave the heavy li ing to me. Whether they are out of town or local, I pride myself on having a reputation for taking the helm and navigating each and every critical step of the way so they can enjoy the process.

Q: What is your proudest accomplishment?

A: For sure, taking my donor heart on several amazing adventures and ultimately releasing her ashes on top of a mountain to help ful ll her legacy and express my gratitude for such a life-changing gi ! I believe she would be equally proud of my career accomplishments and those clients I have helped ful ll their dreams, all of which make me feel ALIVE.
