Today, I’m a keynote speaker, business lawyer, and educator focused on how conversations shape confidence, decisions, and results.
I was the youngest of six kids, raised around strong opinions and big personalities. I learned early how to speak up, read the room, and hold my own. Sometimes that came across as bossy.
Over time, it became something more useful.
That instinct followed me into a career where I was often the only woman in the room. As a business lawyer, I spent years in conversations where trust, relationships, and money were all on the line. I saw how quickly things moved forward, or stalled, based on how people communicated.
Talent opens doors.
Communication determines what happens next.
Today, I work with large audiences and small leadership teams to rethink how they communicate and how they show up when it matters.

My Talk Less series focuses on leadership communication and client-facing conversations that build trust, strengthen relationships, and drive business growth.
Today, I Get To signature keynote for women navigating what’s next
Today, I Get To is a signature keynote for professional women navigating change, success, and what comes next.
It speaks to women who have done what they were supposed to do and are now asking a different question: What do I want now?
It’s about confidence, choice, and deciding what comes next with intention.
I’ve spent my career learning how conversations shape outcomes, including the ones we have with ourselves when something no longer fits. I’ve evolved more than once, and each time, how I showed up mattered.
"How you show up changes everything.”
When I'm Not Speaking
Beyond the stage and client work, my life has evolved in ways I never could have planned.
I started out as a business lawyer and eventually expanded into teaching, writing, and creating online. Along the way, I wrote a book, built communities on social media, and learned what it really means to find your voice and use it in new ways.
Some of my favorite moments happen offstage. I volunteer as a certified therapy dog team with my dog, Walter, love to travel, practice yoga, and enjoy a good wine tasting whenever I can.
Most of all, I value time with my family. Life has a way of teaching you to be present, let go of the small stuff, and appreciate what matters right now.
