Bill and me – one of those moments that stays with you and changes how you see things.

Over the past few years, I’ve been quietly rebuilding – rising through the mud, like the lotus, through one of the most transformational periods of my life.

After earning my PhD in media psychology during a major health challenge, I began laying the foundation for what has now become Vegan Rise One (VR1) – a psychology-based training and messaging platform designed to increase the effectiveness of animal advocacy.

You can explore Vegan Rise One at https://veganrise1.org.

This is my season of bloom. And like the bee, I’m now ready to carry the message – for the animals, and to those ready to rise as more powerful advocates.

Welcome. This site shares that journey – and the insights, strategies, and tools that have developed along the way.
