HELLO & WELCOME!

My mission is simple: to help leaders ignite the leadership potential of their teams to create a high-performance, purpose-driven culture no one ever wants to leave.

My Corporate Beginnings: High-Stakes Leadership

My leadership journey began in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of corporate management at an international company based in New York City. I led high-performing teams in a high-stress industry, navigating complex challenges and delivering results under pressure. Those formative years taught me how to inspire teams, build resilience, and drive success in demanding environments.

The lessons I learned during my corporate career continue to influence my approach to leadership, allowing me to share practical strategies that resonate with leaders at every level.

Entrepreneurship: From Fitness to Leadership

In 2007, I founded my first business, Body Project Fitness, one of the first semi-private training studios in central New Jersey. As a business owner, I gained a hands-on understanding of leadership and team building, as well as what it takes to create meaningful client experiences. My work in the fitness industry caught the attention of industry leaders, and I was honored to serve as Editor-in-Chief of Personal Fitness Professional (PFP) magazine, a premier publication for fitness business professionals and become a sought-after industry speaker and consultant.

This role provided thousands of hours personally coaching our clients to help them uncover the habits of personal excellence and further deepened my commitment to developing my team to do the same.

Helping Leaders Build Leaders

After nearly 15 years of helping professionals succeed and establishing my reputation as a trusted voice in business and career development, and personal leadership, I founded my second company, VastPotential, to help business leaders and executives optimize the leadership skills of their teams by leveraging Emotional Intelligence and key strategies to build high-performing teams, improve customer experiences, and create cultures no one wants to leave.

Through executive coaching, workshops, and consulting services, I provide leaders with the tools to foster cultures of ownership, collaboration, and growth.

Whether working with Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, or small businesses, I tailor my leadership strategies to address real-world challenges, ensuring meaningful and lasting results.

Speaker & Workshop Leader: Sharing My Mission

I’ve been fortunate to share my insights through national media, serve on advisory boards, and mentor leaders who are driving meaningful change. I pride myself on delivering out-of-the-box presentations that are not only engaging and memorable but also full of practical takeaways that leave audiences feeling inspired and equipped to take action.

My mission is simple: to help leaders ignite the leadership potential of their teams to create a high-performance, purpose-driven culture no one ever wants to leave.

When leaders empower the leadership capabilities in others, the result is a legacy of leadership that creates more meaningful, purpose-driven outcomes in work and in life!

A Life of Stories & Curiosity is a Life Worth Living

I’ve lived a life filled with experiences that fuel my storytelling and my work. Born with a gypsy spirit, I’ve called California, Maui, Japan, New Jersey, and now Raleigh, North Carolina, home.

Along the way, I’ve played college rugby, boast a first-place Toastmaster’s trophy at the young age 10, spent a year living in Japan, and keep a collection of back pocket stories from years working with some of the most incredibly interesting individuals.

When I’m not on stage or working with clients, you’ll find me at my son's soccer game, cheering on my daughter at gymnastics, debating the best conference in college football, or telling my kids I've baked my monthly quota for chocolate chip cookies (yes, they're that good!).

Let’s Work Together!

I’m passionate about helping leaders and teams reach their full potential through impactful leadership strategies and EQ-driven solutions. Whether you’re planning a corporate event, team retreat, or leadership conference, I’d love to be part of your journey to creating meaningful growth and transformation.
