My passion is helping hard-working, big dreaming entrepreneurs, just like you, get their business, their expertise, and their story in front of the right audiences.
If you want your business to grow,
you need to be visible.
And After 20+ years in the communications Industry (oh... and a Ph.D.),
I’ve learned a few things:
I know that landing the kind of publicity that generates leads and makes you the "go-to" in your industry doesn’t have to make you pull your hair out.
I know you don't have to be a lime-light seeking reality star to get your message to millions, and truly impact their lives in a positive way.
And I've uncovered how to help people overcome the monster of imposter syndrome, so they can get their work to those that need it the most.
So I've stepped out from the TV studio and university classroom to help visionaries like YOU.
Now, I teach entrepreneurs all the insider strategies for getting media coverage, creating their own media channels, and telling their story with impact, so they can elevate their brands and get their businesses seen, trusted, and more profitable.

Birthdays—mine or anyone else's—are my favorite holiday. That celebration of life is a sweet reminder that God created us for a purpose, and we're still here for a reason!
My niblings.
[Noun: nibling (plural niblings); The child of one's sibling
(in other words, one's niece or nephew), especially in the plural. Coined by linguist Samuel E. Martin in 1951]
Shoes in general, stilettos in particular.
When I was a university professor, I unintentionally became known for my signature shoe style. When I left to pursue entrepreneurship full time, my students gave me multiple pairs of heels as a going away present.
Pretty much everything in life is better with a brownie hot fudge sundae (Braum's, in case you’re wondering)
(and I promise I’m not sponsored by Braum's) (but Braum's, if you're reading this, I'm totally open to a sponsorship).
Animals, pretty much of any sort.
Over the years we've had dogs (have you ever tried telling a Great Pyrenees what to do?), chickens, ducks, bees,
cows, horses, and a cat that hated grass and loved to swim.
And I think it's important to note that
I liked alpacas before alpacas were cool.
It’s always time for tea.
Filling up my passport.
One of my most memorable trips?
5 weeks.
4 countries.
1 backpack.
I could teach a class on packing (oh wait, I have!).
Books.
The library.
More books.
From The Chronicles of Narnia (that Lewis guy knew what he was doing) to Ong's Orality & Literacy, and a whole bunch in between, I love to read.
Let's Get Going!
You've procrastinated long enough!
