Meet Me
Hello!
I am a keynote speaker and workshop leader on a mission to empower business professionals to communicate with clarity and confidence so they can become stronger leaders.
Known for my down-to-earth humor and real-world insights, I have 30+ years of experience working with leaders—from companies, insurance agencies, private clubs, associations, government agencies, nonprofits, and Congress—to deliver clear, compelling messages that get results.
I am also an instructor at Georgia Southern University, teaching public speaking classes to undergraduates and communication and leadership classes to professionals.
My education includes a Master of Arts in Professional Communication and Leadership from Armstrong State University (now Georgia Southern University) and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
When I’m not keeping my mind in peak condition via communication and leadership training, I try to keep my body in peak condition through running, weightlifting, and teaching yoga, Pilates, and group fitness classes.
Along with my husband Ed (a pilot and a retired Naval Officer and Aviator), I have three grown children: Natalie, Jacqueline, and James. I am also active in my parish, St. Anne Catholic Church.
