Best Story

ask me about how and why I took a sabbatical as a freelancer.

Origin Story

I had a resume when I was 15 years old thanks to my mom who was a career counselor, so I've grown up knowing how to package and position skills, experience, and stories in a way that works. My marketing career began at a SaaS company in Boston and grew into content marketing and social media from there, mainly in the HR/talent spaces. In 2015, I started my own agency helping leaders elevate their executive presence and haven't looked back since.

Example talks

Taking a sabbatical as a business owner: It's possible

Six years after I had built a successful six-figure business as a self-employed consultant, I was burnt out and uninspired. Number one on my bucket list had been to walk the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain, so in September of 2022, I got on a plane and left my laptop at home for six weeks.

Let me tell you how I did it and how you can do it too. It starts with believing that it's possible. Dream a little.
