I advise executives, students, and families through life‑defining decisions.

I founded 4A to work personally with students, families, and executives at consequential moments. I begin by understanding your ambitions, circumstances, and the life you want to build. Together, we consider the options, make the trade-offs clear, and carry the agreed strategy through.

I hold a PhD in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where I also studied economics and psychology. My research and practice focus on education, wellbeing, and public policy. I served as Director of International Education at Penn’s Positive Psychology Center and as an Associate Research Scientist at Columbia University’s Center for Sustainable Development.

As Dean of Student Life & Wellbeing at Upper Canada College, I held responsibility for 1,250 students. My international policy roles have included Director of Wellbeing Science and Policy at the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Deputy Director of the Global Happiness and Wellbeing Coalition, and associate editor of the World Happiness Report and Global Happiness Policy Report⁠. I bring that breadth to each engagement with discretion, empathy, and sustained personal involvement.

My earlier education, leadership, and policy work spans 18 countries across four continents, including advisory work with 12 presidents and prime ministers and their governments.
