Favorite Audiences

Professional associations in industries from auto care to healthcare, industrial shipping to law hire me to support their teams. I work with businesses that want to lead with compassion, connection, and authenticity, including Fortune 500 companies like GE and Expedia.


I’m particularly passionate about supporting people who have struggled to have their voices heard: women in male-dominated industries; young professionals without access to strong professional support networks; people who experience marginalization based on race, sexual orientation, ability etc.
