The Underdog Mentality's Story
My Journey
Our Approach
Our Approach
I wasn’t supposed to make it.
Not where I grew up. Not with the expectations placed on me. Not with the obstacles in front of me.
But everything changed the moment I stopped accepting the story I was given — and started writing my own.
At 16, I made a choice.
Lock in. Level up. Bet on myself.
That decision earned me a full-ride scholarship
I wasn’t supposed to make it.
Not where I grew up. Not with the expectations placed on me. Not with the obstacles in front of me.
But everything changed the moment I stopped accepting the story I was given — and started writing my own.
At 16, I made a choice.
Lock in. Level up. Bet on myself.
That decision earned me a full-ride scholarship, a college degree, and a leadership path guiding young adults and professionals on their growth journey across the Pacific Northwest.
But my WHY runs even deeper.
It’s the fuel source behind every message I speak and every room I step into.
My WHY is to help people tap into their power and their potential—
so they can lean into their greatness, rewrite their identity, and rise into the version of themselves they were always capable of becoming.
That’s the heartbeat of The Underdog Mentality —
An unwavering belief in self, despite the circumstances, conditions, or critics that surround you.
Today, through storytelling, music, spoken word, and transformational experiences, I help students, young adults, and professionals discover that same power—
and step boldly into the story they’re meant to live.

2. Transformational, Not Transactional
I don’t “give a speech.” I create experiences. Every session weaves mindset psychology, leadership principles, cultural awareness, and practical tools your audience can apply immediately.
3. Customized for Every Audience
No two crowds are the same—and neither are my sessions.
Whether you need energy, depth, reflection, hype, or team alignment, I tailor the content to meet the goals of your school, organization, or event.
My goal is simple:
To help people see their potential, confront their limiting stories, and choose a better direction for their lives—starting today.
