S.A.S.L.A. was created with one intention

No them. Only US.

When students finish this program – they leave with more than memories.
They carry wisdom — compassion, confidence, and a deeper sense of global unity — back to communities that need that message most.

This isn’t a scholarship.
It’s a transformation.
And it’s just the beginning.

They’re coached through a 12-month entrepreneurial journey — the same frameworks and guest speakers my high-level clients (some paying $100K+ annually) rely on to scale companies, manage teams, and navigate complexity.

And they earn their way through it.
Every student must raise part of their own funds, present their ideas, and stretch outside their comfort zone — because growth must be earned to be meaningful.

My WHY

Growing up, my late mother gifted me something far more valuable than plane tickets — she gave me a deep love for the world beyond our doorstep.
We couldn’t afford to travel, but that didn’t stop her from bringing the world to me.
She cooked dishes from far-off countries. We watched travel shows like they were front-row seats to global adventures. She insisted I learn another language, not just for school — but to connect.

She taught me early on:
You don’t have to leave your country to develop a global heart — but once you do, your perspective is never the same.

Founder, Coach, Author, and Champion of the Next Generation

I built my first 7-figure business in my 20s — and for a while, I thought I had it all.
The cars, the income, the freedom to do whatever I wanted.
But every morning, I woke up with the same hollow question: “Is this all there is?”

It wasn’t.
And digging out of that pit — through therapy, personal growth, and painful trial and error — taught me that real wealth isn’t money. It’s meaning.

Today, I’m a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, bestselling author (Million Dollar Flip Flops), and high-level coach trusted by leaders of multi-million-dollar companies. But the title I’m most proud of is co-founder of Send a Student Leader Abroad.

Why?
Because I know what it’s like to feel stuck in one place — physically, mentally, emotionally.
And I know what happens when someone sees your potential before you can see it yourself.

That’s what this work is about.
Not just sending kids on trips, but lighting the spark that changes the trajectory of their lives — and the communities they return to.

This isn’t charity.
It’s legacy.
