What makes us happier together?
This question has
followed me through various academic degrees, careers,
countries, and spiritual studies. I learned: it’s not money,
intellect or background, it's our human potential for
abilities like purpose, compassion and collaboration, that
allows us to thrive. It inspires me that this is teachable.

Happiness happens by choice, not chance.
I aim to be
so happy that those around me want to step into my
light. This started with my daughter’s autism diagnosis
and my realization that the material things I thought were
important were replaced by connection, joy and purpose.
I believe in proactively equipping children with tools to
thrive rather than reacting once mental health issues arise.

What we think, we become.
Developing expertise is not the
hardest thing in life. Luckily, I had good mentors, who
helped me learn to be a good developer. But life is more
than being good in a chosen profession. I learned that all
the hard skills you have are worthless, when you're too
anxious to use them, too nervous to show them to others.
Now, I allow what I do, to show who I am.

I am fighting... fighting for a better education system,
because I know what it means to be unhappy in school.
All the human skills I have today, like mindfulness,
emotional intelligence and finding out what I'm really
passionate about, were things I had to learn on my own.

Not accepting the current state as finished!
We as humans and as a society are evolving faster and faster,
but our school system is not keeping up. Having
experienced a school life, which lacked joy and
important future skills, such as belonging and empathy,
I see it as an opportunity and a duty to help others
thrive in years crucial to their development: school!
