I am a researcher and founder working at the intersection of entrepreneurship and trauma. My work focuses on how personal experiences of rupture or injustice can be transformed into ventures that create real impact. Over the past decade, I have developed a distinct approach that connects lived experience with venture creation, positioning entrepreneurship as a space for both personal transformation and cultural change.
My background combines therapeutic practice, social work, behavioral economics, and human centered marketing. I have worked with hundreds of individuals across therapeutic, cultural, and social impact fields, including complex contexts such as addiction, illness, and post conflict communities. Through this work, I identified a recurring pattern, when personal experience is processed consciously and translated into structured action, it becomes a powerful engine for building meaningful and sustainable ventures.
This work led me to develop Investigative Entrepreneurship, a field that reframes entrepreneurship as a process of turning biography into authorship. I work with individuals and organizations to build ventures rooted in lived experience, shaping initiatives that influence how people understand identity, power, and possibility. My aim is to expand this field internationally and position it as a new way of thinking about leadership, trauma, and long term impact.
