About
I believe every experience is an opportunity to thrive—not just survive.
As an International Keynote Speaker, Best-Selling Author, and CEO of Career Thrivers, I’m passionate about helping leaders and organizations transform challenges into opportunities for growth. Leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about authenticity, resilience, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
From corporate giants like Amazon, Bridgestone, and Caterpillar to emerging businesses, I partner with organizations to develop resilient leaders, amplify their workforce’s potential, and cultivate cultures of belonging that drive measurable success.
Why my work matters:
Leadership today demands more than competence—it requires the courage to own your narrative, the art of storytelling to inspire action, and the resilience to thrive through uncertainty. Through my Workforce Influencer Model™, I empower leaders to elevate their personal brands while amplifying their organizations’ employer brands.
A bit about me:
Professional Speaker: From boardrooms to global stages, my keynotes leave audiences equipped to thrive with actionable insights on leadership, inclusion, and resilience.
Author: My book, THRIVE Through It, redefines resilience for leaders navigating career transitions. It's not about how fast you bounce back but how fully you recover with purpose and authenticity.
Educator: I share insights on navigating leadership, career growth, and storytelling through my LinkedIn Learning course, "Thriving Through Career Challenges," my Let’s Thrive Together podcast, and weekly LinkedIn newsletter.
