I’m an educator and consultant whose work is informed by my own lived neurodivergence.

I hold a BA in Theology (Ethics) from Georgetown University, with a minor in Linguistics, and an MA in Religion (Ethics) from Yale Divinity School. I also completed formal training in 2025 that was focused on neurodivergence-affirming approaches to supporting adult wellbeing. My lens emerges from a fusion of lived experience and education, and seeks to complement clinical and diagnostic frameworks that often benefit from fresh eyes. I am particularly curious about how difference is assigned value culturally, and how inherited social systems often determine whose experience is treated as “normal” by default.

I have long been drawn to questions of meaning, morality, belonging, and what it takes to live an honest, thriving life. After graduate school, and while raising my children, I pursued sustained, self-directed learning across fields related to embodied wellbeing—driven by a persistent sense that something in my body and environment was out of alignment.

Over time, this ongoing inquiry converged with a growing understanding of my own neurodivergence. What had once felt diffuse became legible: ethics, health, and neurodiversity were not separate interests, but interconnected ways of making sense of lived experience. That convergence became the foundation for Love & Moxie.

Now, I integrate my ethics lens, lived experience, and modern research into work that supports meaningful change. I believe it is vital for us to trust our own rhythms and bodies, and I am committed to reframing societal understanding around neurodivergence so that its inherent strengths can be recognized alongside its challenges.
