My Mission

My mission is to help you date better. What does that mean? Well, for one, it doesn’t mean always getting the next date or getting your date to totally fall for you.

To be good at dating means being able to be yourself, to feel confident and relaxed so that you can really get to know the person in front of you.

It seems simple enough, but after years of social distancing and an over-reliance on phones and social media, being IRL can feel uncomfortable. You may be out of practice and or feel like you don’t know what you’re doing.

So, back to my mission: I’m going to help you get better at dating by leveraging the game changing capabilities that VR has to offer.

The datingverse will help you get out of your head and onto a good first date.

More About Me

I was born and raised in East Lansing, Michigan, making me a friendly Midwesterner and a stalwart MSU fan. I earned my B.A. in History from Emory University and my M.A. from Cambridge University in Economics.

After deciding against a career in academia, I joined HSBC as an International Manager in their corporate banking program. This role brought me to the Channel Islands, Hong Kong, and Shanghai where I lived for nine years. During my time in China, I worked as a banker, had my two kids (now 16 and 18) and started a company specializing in children's retail.

Life changes brought me to NYC in 2009. I arrived as a single parent with two little kids and threw myself into online dating. They say you should do what you love, and that’s what I did. I transitioned to matchmaking and then into date coaching. Now, after over ten years of dating and experience as a professional matchmaker, I’m sharing the fruits of my experience.
