my personal mission
To empower women through one-on-one sailing education and immersive on-the-water experiences that build confidence, leadership, and lifelong skills.
Sails & Grace started the way a lot of good things do—on a sailboat, in conversation, and with a simple realization:
When women are given the space, support, and trust to learn on the water, something shifts. Confidence grows. Voices get stronger. Skills stick.
I’ve watched women step aboard feeling unsure and step off standing taller, making clearer decisions, and believing in their ability to handle more than just a sailboat. Sails & Grace exists to make those moments more accessible—to open the door wider and say, you belong here. Learn More About Sails & Grace >>
