After graduating from Emory University with a B.A. in Psychology, her career started with a psychology internship in Washington D.C. She loved helping people and wanted to make a difference, but she wanted to explore more of life. She moved to NYC at age 22 and worked in advertising, sales and marketing for many years, leading to a high-level Senior Account Manager position with a litigation consulting firm. It was a total rat race and the level of success she found in corporate America was ultimately unfulfilling. She longed to find a deeper purpose.
