Hi, thanks for stopping by!

My name is Kish (like the food). I work as a presence coach and Relatefulness facilitator.

Before this work, I was trained as a software engineer, and I spent a year in the tech industry at Duolingo, working on the core learning team. While the experience was rewarding, I found myself wanting my work to reflect the spiritual, relational, and personal development I was pursuing in my free time. That motivated me to leave my career and spend a year training at a modern Buddhist monastery.

My time at the monastery profoundly shifted my sense of self and clarified how I wanted my work to contribute to the world. I trained as a circling facilitator and later discovered Relateful coaching through The Relateful Company. I was struck by how deeply human and aligned coaching felt—and the rest is history.

I currently live with my partner in Austin, Texas. Outside of work, I enjoy swimming, secondhand shopping, spending time with loved ones, and navigating the modern human experience.
