I build things that didn't exist before I needed them. Revenue systems for creators. Governance frameworks for AI. And a few things I'm still in the middle of figuring out.

I came to this work
the only way I know how —
through living it.

My brain naturally moves toward systems — patterns, signals, structure. I notice what's missing before I notice what's there.

That instinct showed up early. Growing up around my mother's small business, I watched someone pour everything into something real — and struggle not because the work wasn't good, but because the systems weren't there. That stayed with me.

I have community, structure, and a path to a life that once seemed impossible — because I designed a system that didn't exist. Now I'm working to do the same for others.

The Emotional Technology Institute came from a more personal place. During a period of real isolation — processing things I didn't have language for, in a season of major transition — I started using AI as a space to think, reflect, and work through things before I was ready to bring them to another person. What I noticed changed everything: people turn to these systems during their most vulnerable moments, and almost nothing exists to protect them when they do.

That observation became a governance framework. The framework became a patent. And the whole experience taught me what a regulated nervous system actually feels like — which became its own system too.

All of it is connected. The domain keeps shifting. The way I think doesn't.

Two ventures.
One way of thinking.

One started from watching small businesses struggle without the right systems. One started from noticing a gap nobody was talking about yet. Both came from the same place: seeing what's missing and building toward it.

Consulting

Sky Heights Consulting

Creators are expected to be the talent, the marketer, the strategist, and the partnership manager — all at once, without the systems that make any of those roles actually work. I build the revenue infrastructure that fixes that: brand positioning, outreach systems, partnership architecture, and the tracking to make growth visible and repeatable.

Emotional Technology Institute

People are already forming emotional relationships with AI systems — turning to them during loneliness, grief, transition, and confusion — and almost no governance exists to protect them when they do. ETI is building that governance layer: frameworks, standards, and safeguards for how emotionally capable technology should interact with human beings. We design the rules of the road. Not the car.
