About
A Breath of Fresh Air
As a seasoned professional interviewer, journalist and media consultant, I bring decades of experience and a unique perspective to every project I sign onto. A graduate the world’s most prestigious journalism school, I hold myself to a high standard,. This alone has held up in boardrooms and newsrooms. My background spans a wide variety of industries including broadcast news, public relations and marketing, non-fiction publishing, non-profit fundraising and development, higher education, the insurance industry and even franchise ownership— all equipping me with wisdom to find the story within, and engage audiences effectively.
Today I have the distinct pleasure of interviewing unique people from all over the world. I serve as a media consultant and coach for the National Publicity Summit and work with non-fiction authors to produce personal brand mini-movies and social media marketing assets. My work has led these change-makers to be featured on national media outlets, garnering them success they've only dreamed of.
As a podcast host and co-host, I continue to navigate diverse topics, fostering insightful conversations that compel viewers and listeners to come back for more.
