Origin Story
I'm an experienced, sought after speaker who began her professional life as a classically trained actor. I understand entrepreneurs and CEOs because I have experienced the challenges of becoming an impactful leader first hand. Leadership can be lonely and miscommunications of any kind can cause challenges large and small. . I provide current and future leaders with the insights, skills and strategies to connect with others, articulate their vision and value and embody a strong and authentic leadership style.
I began my professional career in the theater and film industry where I worked for over 15 years in both the U.S and in London. I also founded and run two successful companies, worked with Fortune 500 companies and with high profile professionals from around the world.
I graduated from Tufts University in Boston.
