Summary
With over four decades of experience at the intersection of technology, business, and culture, I've helped Fortune 500 companies, startups, NGOs, and universities break free from stagnation. Navigating Silicon Valley's booms and busts honed my fascination with people, emerging technology, and large-scale problem-solving. However, in 2020, amid a business venture collapse and the Covid-19 onset, I took a detour. I pursued a long-held interest in becoming a therapist, enrolled in Golden Gate University's psychology program. I threw myself into full-time study for two years, finding immense satisfaction in learning about the human psyche. In 2022 I was awarded a Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with Highest Honors. Post-graduation, I sought practical experience. I interned at the Pacific Center for Human Growth in 2021 and 2022, serving the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities in Berkeley. I further broadened my scope in 2022, joining the Liberation Institute. As of January 2023, I've been working with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy, dedicating myself to daily therapy sessions with clients. By blending my business acumen with therapeutic expertise, I aim to help individuals address life's challenges and foster personal growth.
