In 2018, I made a commitment to expanding human impact by turning personal endurance into fuel for public good.
Beyond Human Kind unites people to create meaningful change - empowering individuals and communities to raise awareness and take action for the causes that matter most to them, from human well-being to the health of our planet.
My goal is to inspire and organize people everywhere to make a difference, no matter how big or small, for whatever cause moves them most. From supporting local families in crisis to restoring forests across the world, the greatest force for change is not government or corporations, but everyday people united by compassion. Beyond Human Kind empowers individuals to take that first step - to rally their communities, amplify awareness, and turn empathy into impact. Because when kindness becomes collective, it becomes unstoppable.
Together, we can build a world that gives more, cares deeper, and reaches further - beyond borders, beyond causes, beyond human kind.

I’ve always been an active person. For most of my life, that meant training hard and chasing big goals. I spent over ten years working toward a professional tennis career, practicing every day and giving it my all. Tennis was everything to me, until I got sidelined by an injury that changed everything.
Over the years, I’ve also faced several serious medical challenges that completely reshaped how I see the world. Being in hospitals and going through long recoveries taught me something I never expected to learn: the power of kindness. The smallest acts of care from friends, family, and even strangers meant more than I can ever explain.
That experience made me want to find a way to share that feeling with others. To me, it's not just about being kind to people, but everything - even the planet we live on. Beyond Human Kind has been the banner I've flown under for all the different things I have done.
