Personal Details

Bio

As an award-winning communicator, I’m here to help you change the tides from male-heavy speakers and panels. I do this by showcasing the powerful stories of women from your industry, who not only inspire with their own content, but with their nitty-gritty stories of success & struggle, both personally and professionally.

Dope as Elle LIVE! is a unique segment I have developed from two decades of interviewing VIPs live and on-camera. This live, one-on-one interview with one of your women VIPs (think keynote speakers, association presidents, etc.) would allow you to increase the exposure of your female speakers while adding a fun talk-show element to your programming.

My background in journalism and experience with technology startups makes me an agile investigator, always curious and forward-looking. I love diving into the real stories of success, because too often we put leaders on a pedestal with no clear path how they got there. My goal is to tear off the veil of glamour and talk about the hard-fought battles that were won along the way.
