2013
I was just coming out of a divorce, I was in a contract gig that was ending, and I had to move out of my apartment in 3 weeks because I couldn't afford it on my own.
After some tears and panic, I decided that this was not going to be my future life. I was meant for more and realized it was up to me to make things happen.
Over the next 3 years, I decided to buck traditional advice that told me to find a good job, stay there, and then retire. Instead, I embraced curiosity and took a variety of roles that would help me figure out what I liked and what I didn't like.

What the heck do you do? What qualifies you to do it?
Those are two of the common questions I get when I say I'm a Business Communications Strategist. And they are great questions! So, instead of answering that question with a title I started answering it with this:
"Here’s the scoop: communication isn’t just about talking; it’s about being heard. It’s about making your story count, whether you're in a boardroom, at a networking event, or just chilling with friends. That’s where I come in! I’m here to help you find your voice, develop a killer communication style, and start seeing real results both professionally and personally."
Why my approach is different:
As a psychologist and a successful business owner, I've not only studied the science behind communication—I've lived it. I truly get the hurdles you're facing because I've jumped them myself.
I'm not here to tell you what to do and I'm also not here to ask you to tell me what you don't know. I'm here to dance that line of your self-reflection and awareness and my expert guidance and advice.
My goal? To help you unlock your communication superpower and watch your world transform. Imagine feeling confident and clear every time you speak, knowing you’re making an impact. With tailored strategies rooted in psychology and real-world experience, we’ll make sure you step up, stand out, and shine!
