I’m a speaker, digital transformation strategist, and emerging AI Solutions Architect with 18+ years of experience translating complexity into clarity—across systems, stories, and scale. My career started in IT—building web and database applications—and grew into leading teams and large-scale digital strategies across higher education, nonprofits, and mission-driven businesses. I’ve launched businesses and brand campaigns, implemented enterprise systems, and guided teams through moments of reinvention.
Now, I’m leaning deeper into the future: AI strategy and solutions architecture. I’m actively deepening my expertise in generative AI, intelligent systems design, and responsible innovation to help organizations harness emerging technologies in ways that are both strategic and human-centered.
Beyond the tech, I’m also a speaker and author on mindset, personal power, and unlocking human potential. I believe that transformation—whether digital or deeply personal—requires courage, clarity, and the willingness to rise. I’m integrating AI into my own business to scale my impact as a speaker and entrepreneur.
Whether I’m on a stage empowering audiences to rise above self-doubt or behind the scenes helping organizations simplify complexity and drive change, I show up with one mission:
To help people move forward with purpose and power. To build systems and mindsets that shape a braver, smarter, more limitless future.
