Hi, I’m

I was born with microtia atresia—a congenital condition that meant I started life with a different hearing journey than most. By the time I reached adulthood, I’d had over 20 surgeries and a lifetime of medical appointments, recovery rooms, and learning how to advocate for myself.

But here’s the thing: through all of it, I never stopped choosing joy.

As an educator with a Master’s degree, I spent years helping students navigate their own challenges. I watched them light up when they realized they could turn obstacles into opportunities. That same spark—that decision to keep moving forward with hope—became the foundation of everything I do now.

Joy isn’t the absence of hard things.
Joy is the choice you make alongside them.

I created Joy Crazy® because people don’t just need information—they need encouragement, real-life systems that work, and a community of folks cheering them on. I built The Joy Crazy Way™ to give people a simple, repeatable process: ask the right questions, find your goal, take the next step.

Today I teach pickleball, write the weekly newsletter, lead community calls, and design tools to help people live their version of a joyful life.
