Imagine a future where women leaders and entrepreneurs have the same level of visibility and success as their male counterparts, where leaders of all orientations are commonplace and where everyone has access to the same information and opportunities as everyone else. Unrealistic? Perhaps, but reality is what we make it, and She Leads Media creates exceptional content for women, by women, offers visibility and marketing consulting and advice and plays a pivotal role in bringing gender equality to leadership and entrepreneurship worldwide.
As the founder and CEO of She Leads Media, I've created a global platform for women to gather together in person and online to connect, collaborate, learn and grow in a genuinely supportive environment. It's critical for women to use powerful words to position and pitch themselves to the media and increase their visibility, so the world can benefit from women by balancing out this very unbalanced world in which we are all existing.
In addition to creating content for She Leads Media, my team and I offer strategic marketing & business development services to startups and Fortune 1000 brands alike, primarily in the Media, Entertainment and Technology space and develop strategy across:
* Integrated Marketing
* Digital Marketing
* Social Media
* Branding
* Business Development
* Public Relations & Visibility
* Strategic Partnerships
* Women Leadership & Entrepreneurship
I'm also a sought-after speaker and moderator on the topics of Women's Business Leadership and Entrepreneurship, transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, podcasting and media.
People describe me as creative, inspiring, entrepreneurial, collaborative, energetic, smart, and confident. I'm often praised as personable leader and an effective strategic partner. I operate from a foundation of extensive corporate and startup experience, an MBA from New York University Stern School of Business, and all I have learned in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Tory Burch Cohort.

Best Story
My journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship and all the lessons that I've learned not only about myself as an entrepreneur, but myself as a human being.
Origin Story
In 2010, I had been working for a global management consulting firm for almost two years, and there were circumstances, both personally and professionally that left me feeling extremely disenchanted with corporate America. I realized that I was making choices that led me down a path of self-sabotage. When I recognized what I was doing, I knew that it was time to make a dramatic change in the way I approached both work and my life. Since I have always held a deep belief in myself and my abilities, I reasoned that if I was able to rise through the ranks as a marketing leader in corporate America, I could likewise create success within my own business. Therefore, in May of 2010, I set out to create a marketing consulting firm with a focus on helping women-owned businesses to grow and thrive. I wanted to help other women like me create success on their own terms, with their own vision. Since that time, many things have shifted and my business, She Leads Media looks quite different today than it did in 2010.
