Speaker. Presenter. Moderator. Emcee. Facilitator. Teacher. Leader. Founder of HEART. HUSTLE. HAPPINESS. she helps individuals, groups, and teams with the core of their intentions, communication, and what makes them whole. Her favorite audience? Underdogs. ​ She’s especially passionate about advocating and working alongside those who have made grave mistakes. With an uncanny way of finding the good in anyone and any situation she spends a great deal of my time communicating, connecting, listening, sharing, and speaking in jails & prisons. Facilities and institutions that she believes are filled with the biggest underdogs and overlooked talent pool in America- people with criminal histories. People who don’t want to be known for the worst thing they’ve ever done. People who want to live their greatest wish- not resolve their greatest regret.
