Great to meet you!

I’m a 4X Founder, Consultant, Coach, and Speaker.

My mission is to help entrepreneurs grow their business and change the world while keeping their stress and overwhelm to a minimum.

Because… You deserve for your business to grow AND to be human outside of your business.

You didn’t start a business to feel burnt out and miserable. If your business is going to change the world, YOU need to be thriving too.

My style is high energy, positive, transparent, honest, and strategic. I’m an open book, and love nothing more than to be the #1 cheerleader for an entrepreneur and business I believe in. My clients can expect very enthusiastic voice notes cheering them on!

I have been an entrepreneur since 2015, personally launching four companies. Including two first-of-their-kind businesses in Canada—EarthPup and Terus.

I never planned on becoming an entrepreneur. I accidentally stumbled into starting my business, Terus during my undergrad. I was so sick of the amount of food waste I saw every day at work and decided to do something about it. That’s how I discovered my LOVE for entrepreneurship that makes the world a better place and allows founders to create the life they dreamt of.

I have coached +300 entrepreneurs all over the world to grow their businesses—including in the US, Colombia, Hong Kong, the UK, and the Western Balkans.

I have also been an expert consultant on impact entrepreneurship for the United Nations and Canadian Federal Government. I was named one of Canada’s Top 30 Under 30 Environmentalists and the Emerging Leader by University of Toronto.

I’ve supported entrepreneurs to raise over $20 million in capital for their ventures.

I believe that impactful businesses will change the world.

If you’re into any of the following topics, we’ll get along just fine!

  • Impact

  • Well-Being

  • Dogs (duh)

A bit more about me…

My two loves in life are business and music.

I am obsessed with dogs (see a pic of me and Elsie… and her rock) and I have been playing music since I was 7 years old. My mum wanted me to pursue a career as a jazz musician (sorry Mum!) so I attended jazz piano and saxophone lessons from 7 to 18 years old. I’ve played in symphony, jazz, mo-town, alternative and experimental bands… And most recently a 9-piece disco funk band, called Human Magic in Toronto.

Currently, I’m working on writing my own music which will be released next year! (Think Justice vibes but with lots of live instrumentation…)

My Story

There is always a silver lining when things go terribly wrong in entrepreneurship.

In August 2022, I was launching a new first-of-its-kind product line with my business EarthPup. The products were formulated, the packaging done, and the supply chain finished. We were bringing an innovative product to the pet industry and our retailers couldn't wait!

I was hustling HARD. Working all hours to get this product launched. Not taking care of myself as I should have.

Then I started to get very ill. I didn't know what was happening—I couldn't eat. This went on for about two weeks. I wasn't eating more than maybe 200 calories per day and I didn't know why this was happening. I saw three different doctors who all were stumped. They just told me to take a Gravol—maybe I'm pregnant so they told me to take a test, and sent me home. They didn't listen to me when I said something was very wrong.

I was planning on admitting myself to the hospital for a feeding tube because I didn't know what else to do until a naturopath figured it out! I had been exposed to toxic mold (the most toxic group which includes black mold) and my liver was starting to shut down as a result.

The path to recovery would be one to one and a half years and I would get sicker before I got better as I started the detox process. The situation was affecting my cognitive function, my nervous system, my muscles, my digestion... everything.

My doctor told me that my system was already compromised by STRESS and this illness was “the straw that broke the camel's back.” Which is why parts of my body started to shut down.

EarthPup had to cease operations because I couldn't work and I went on medical leave for a month.

I only recently recovered from this illness. I'm very grateful that the worst is behind me and I'm fully functional now.

This experience has turned into my new WHY and mission. Entrepreneurs making the world a better place aren't going to be able to have the impact they set out to have if they burn out due to stress, or experience serious chronic health issues made worse by stress from their business (as I did).

I learned my lesson the hard way and it changed my life. I now work in a completely different way to prioritizes results AND my own well-being.
