Event Producer and Host of Virtual Summits: Boost your brand's visibility and business without breaking the bank

I foster professional development into company culture and address employee growing pains so that managers and executives can focus on growing the business.

Dreamer. Doer. Trailblazer. I get it.

I've gone from campus to a career at a Fortune 100 company, to a start-up that I helped grow to be a global organization. I've leaned in, transitioned, pivoted and side hustled.

I proudly own my roles, including being a mom who manages #allthethings to live my dreams and serve others.

Finding career fulfillment is a painful, soul-sucking process.

I make it purposeful, productive and fun.

Growing an organization is draining when dealing with petty and not so petty people issues. I develop kick-ass training to rally your people to win at work and in life.

I value integrity, authenticity and high-touch service.

It's my goal to have a positive impact on your career and business and help ⚡ boost your bottom line ⚡.
