I grew up on the Oregon coast, raised by two teachers who instilled a love for community, the outdoors, and reading. By seven, I was already organizing local fundraisers: my annual “Read for the Need” book sale raised $65,000 for local food shares in ten years. Public speaking and community outreach are second nature to me.

After a formative year of student exchange in Colombia, I returned to study business at Oregon State University–Cascades. I thrived academically, landing two internships—one in organic SEO, the other in political consulting.

But I wanted to kill myself. I worked in student government, which opened my eyes to the ways the universities prioritize public relations and money over student wellbeing. Yet my experience in student government exposed how universities often prioritize public relations and money over student well-being. I witnessed misconduct being swept aside and vast sums of student fees “disappear.” I liked the problem solving and technical problems of business, but hated working for large corporate clients like Nestle, DuPont, and Purina. I didn’t want to run brand analysis after a movie about DuPont poisoning America; I wanted to help people.

This disillusioning atmosphere, combined with a toxic workplace culture, brought me to the brink of despair—but also ignited my desire to champion real change.

Following the defeat of the Titans by the Olympians, Zeus withheld fire from humans because he feared it gave them too much power. Humans were left in a state of despair – no warmth, community, or enlightenment. One lone Titan, with a deep love for humanity, saw this injustice and took action. Sneaking onto Mount Olympus, Prometheus hid the sacred flame in a hollow fennel stalk before delivering the bundle to humanity. He taught them how to tend it, cook with it, forge metal, and ultimately, begin civilization.

My commitment is to help unlock that potential, bridging evidence-based insights with accessible storytelling.

At 7 I started feeding the hungry, just to help people. As I get older, I wondered why the richest country in the world has anyone hungry, and why a seven-year-old feels responsible for it.
Psychedelics are my fire. There are no gods, just governments that criminalize a human birthright. So many are suffering; psychedelics represent profound potential when fully understood and integrated into modern society.

I am a translator – I understand different approaches are needed depending on the audience.

Today, I leverage my background in freelance writing and consulting to craft persuasive content and strategies for the psychedelic space. I’m a translator of sorts: I adapt complex research, cultural narratives, and policy debates into clear, powerful messages. Whether it’s therapeutic integration, community advocacy, or business innovation, I tailor my approach for diverse audiences—always with the goal of uplifting humanity and honoring the promise of psychedelic exploration.

Later, my time at Oregon State University–Cascades led me into political consulting and organic SEO, building solid expertise in freelance marketing and communications.

Yet, behind the glossy corporate facade, I saw entrenched injustices—reminding me of the Greek myth where Zeus hoarded fire, leaving humanity in darkness. My calling is to deliver “fire” to those seeking psychedelic healing and integration. Whether I’m consulting, crafting psychedelic writing, or designing a mindset shift campaign, I focus on bridging scientific research, policy insight, and creative storytelling. My vision is simple: to spark real change, one project—and one enlightened perspective—at a time.
