About Me:
Coaching is the third phase of my long and successful career. At present, I have over 4,000 paid client coaching hours, have helped tens of thousands of people around the world, and have the world's highest relationship recovery rate. I am certified in Authenticity through the International Coach Federation, which is the globe's gold standard for coaching, and am one of less than 1,600 Master level coaches in the world. I am also certified in trauma recovery and grief and loss recovery. For the past four years, I have focused on romantic relationship coaching; however, I have expanded my practice to include life coaching with an emphasis on self-love, communication, identity, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and all personal relationships.
As a life coach, I draw upon my extensive and accomplished career as a strategy and advanced analytics executive and as a former advisor to social and political organizations. I have an award-winning public relations background -- named one of America's best public relations executives, the recipient of national public relations creativity awards, and cited as one of the most influential women in technology and finance. Previously, I was a strategy consultant for complex transactions valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. Currently, I lead overseas agricultural and real estate development companies and consult with non-profits and non-governmental organizations on the development of resilience programs for women and children in conflict zones and third world countries.
One of my goals is to complete my Ph.D. in Economics, and my research - mentored by some of the leading academics in economics, gender studies, and cultural anthropology - focuses on the intersection of capitalism, feminism, and the economic underpinnings of social movements. My MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University focused on strategy and finance. I regularly work with a non-profit preventing homelessness and a domestic violence shelter for women and their children.
I am the oldest of five girls to Filipino immigrants who came to the United States in the early 1970s. I was born and raised in the rural, blue-collar farming town of Blytheville, Arkansas. I did not meet another Asian person outside of my family until I went to college. I went to Duke University on a full scholarship from a foundation chaired by Hillary Rodham Clinton and have degrees in Gender Studies, Neuroscience, and Physics.
