I am a real estate broker associate, entrepreneur, attorney, wife, and an empty-nest mother to an oddly-diverse, blended family of five children (ages 21 to 29). I am a motivator, an educator, and a purveyor of good old fashioned common sense. I specialize in leveraging today's unprecedented open door that is social media to bring attention and deep, meaningful engagement to my business pages and love teaching others how to do the same. I bring my many interesting... sometimes bizarre... life experiences to the stage in order to engage the audience. To be a great speaker, I believe you must first and foremost be a great storyteller. I use the humor that is my life to engage my audience so that they are ready to absorb the content and so that they leave knowing something specific and tangible that they can use to improve their business, their life, their relationships. Perhaps it's my southern drawl, but I still have people wanting to "give me a hug" months after they saw me on stage. Being approachable, down to earth, and giving of what I have been blessed to learn is what sets me apart from many speakers. I honestly feel that my mother was the wisest person I have ever known, and if I were to die someday without sharing as much of her wisdom and sense of humor as I possibly can to as many people as possible, then I have failed to leave the best legacy possible. Speaking to a crowd, and feeding off of their energy is my oxygen and seeing a light, a realization, an understanding spark in their eyes is my greatest joy; that is why I do it.

s a speaker, trainer, coach and leadership expert, I help entrepreneurs and professionals create even more success in their life. I am a catalyst for helping people explain the “why”, manage fears and birth their vision. I am a thought leader for those wanting to “Live their Dreams.” To quote my mentor, Les Brown, “Don’t let anyone’s opinion of you become your reality,” truly speaks to me. After years of bullying, depression and countless suicide attempts in the past, these days, I share my experiences and teach others how to live beyond the labels. “Labels” that are either others placed on us or on ourselves. These negative talks and beliefs are detrimental. I am here to encourage you that you don’t have to live by your label(s). Start living to your awesome potential. ********************************** I am available to speak at events, conferences, workshops, panel expert, and more. Connect with me...
