I spent 14 years in the internet advertising world, culminating in NYC. I had everything but was emotionally bankrupt. So, I quit my job in 2010 and now live a life driven by my heart...love in action!

I traveled to India in 2012 to work with girls forced into the sex slave trade and children living in slums. I learned first hand that education is hope.

I am passionate about giving the impoverished a voice and changing their lives through education. I started a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, Rippled Purpose (RippledPurpose.com) in 2012 dedicated to placing schools in slums and am supporting 4 initiatives in India. I also started a retail company, Blessed Lotus (BlessedLotus.com) and use 100% of the retail profits to fund my mission.

We filmed a documentary in February of this year to reveal to the world the reality of life for those impoverished in India and also to show the hope that education brings.

Surfing is my way of connecting with God and being reminded of the power of a ripple and how powerful it is when we are in the heart of the flow.
