About The Great I Am's Daughter
A movement built on one truth: You are a daughter of The Great I Am.

Founder 路 Educator 路 Leadership Coach 路 Speaker
I didn't grow up with a roadmap for success. There was no blueprint, no safety net, and no guarantee that tomorrow would look different from today. What I had was something quieter and far more durable: a refusal to become the statistic society had already written for me.
That single decision, made long before any degree or platform existed, became the seed of a movement that is now helping women around the world restore their identity, align with truth, and lead their lives from love instead of pressure.
A Foundation Built on Survival
Growing up in Hawaii, raised by a single mother and quietly navigating hidden homelessness, I learned early what it meant to live in survival mode. Stability was not a given. Certainty was a luxury. What I developed instead was resilience, the kind forged not in comfort but in necessity.
Compounding those early circumstances was a childhood shaped by an absent father. Beyond occasional birthday and holiday calls filled with broken promises, his presence was largely missing. I began to believe that love had to be earned, that if I achieved enough, performed well enough, or proved my worth with sufficient consistency, then perhaps validation and belonging would finally follow.
It was a belief I would carry for years before I understood how deeply it was shaping everything, including the way I led.
Education as Elevation
Rather than allowing my circumstances to define my ceiling, I pursued education with determined focus. I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii-West Oahu, then went on to earn a Master of Education from Spalding University and a Master's degree in Instructional Leadership from Chaminade University of Honolulu, building an academic foundation that matched the internal resilience I had developed long before any classroom.
During my time at the University of Hawaii-West Oahu, I stepped into student government at every level, serving as senator, treasurer, vice president, and president, while advocating for students across the university system.

The Full Circle Moment
Today, I serve as a licensed educator teaching mathematics in the very community where I grew up. That detail is not incidental. It is central to everything I represent.
I understand the weight my students carry because I once carried it myself. I know what it means to sit in a classroom while dreaming of a future that feels impossible from where you are standing. Every day I return to that school, I demonstrate the truth at the heart of my message: a story does not have to end where it began.
The Internal Turning Point
The most significant transformation in my life did not happen on a stage or in a university hall. It happened internally. Even as I accumulated achievements and stepped into visible leadership, I began to recognize something that many high-capacity women quietly experience:
You can accomplish remarkable things, carry immense responsibility, and appear strong on the outside while feeling exhausted and disconnected from peace on the inside.
"For years I believed love had to be earned. My life changed when I realized love was always meant to be received."
That shift, from performing for love to receiving it, became the spiritual and philosophical cornerstone of my entire body of work.
The Mission
The Great I Am's Daughter exists to guide women through a transformational journey from slave mentality to royal identity. To help you remember who you are, reclaim what's been lost, and step into the authority you were always meant to carry.
This is not just coaching. This is restoration. This is a homecoming.
The Vision
To grow the Rooted in Love framework into a global leadership ecosystem where women are equipped to restore their foundation, align with purpose, and lead with clarity and integrity.
To multiply transformation by empowering women to guide and influence others, creating meaningful impact in families, businesses, and communities around the world.
This is a movement. And you're invited to be part of it.
