Catalyze your Purpose.

Catalyze Connection

As a researcher, author, dedicated professor and public speaker ,I connect people, especially people who are taking the hardest moments of their lives and turning that pain into purpose. With a specialty in understanding how media and technology help us navigate our greatest traumas and grief, I have the skills to enable each of us to improve our own lives and our communities.

Catalyze Research.

We all have questions about the world, I can help you find answers. . With a background in qualitative research design, media studies, and an expertise in human communication and trauma, I offer people oriented research to answer life’s toughest questions. In my academic work I delve into the depths of why we navigate the hard things in life the way we do and examine how we use the modern tech around us to navigate what we go through each day.

The journeys we walk are most effective when we walk alongside each other, let’s walk this path together and catalyze our power. Find me on social for research based insights into how to best add power to your purpose.
