The Art of Conversation

As a seasoned speaker, author, and LinkedIn Learning instructor, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my journey through anxiety, burnout, and resilience. With a distinguished academic background from the London School of Economics and Concord Law School, combined with 25 years of experience in project management across financial services, state government, and non-profits, I offer a wealth of knowledge and insight into creating thriving, balanced environments.

Combining Education, Experience and Passion

My true passion lies in working with people to enhance leadership and followership skills while fostering organizations that prioritize mental health. By creating environments that promote well-being, innovation, engagement, and productivity, I help teams and individuals not just survive but thrive.

Having lived in vibrant locations from NYC to Western Massachusetts and North Carolina, I am deeply connected to nature—whether it’s tending to my bees, enjoying the company of my two large dogs and two small rabbits, or immersing myself in the beauty of trees, birds, and bees. This love for nature fuels my passion for well-being and drives my commitment to helping individuals and organizations cultivate environments where mental health is a priority.

An avid reader, movie enthusiast (with V for Vendetta as a favorite), and music lover with tastes ranging from classical piano by Rachmaninov and Shostakovich to the eclectic sounds of David Bowie, I find inspiration in a diverse range of artistic expressions.

As an adjunct faculty member at Suffolk University Law School, I leverage my expertise to mentor the next generation of professionals. My mission is to empower others to embrace resilience, foster innovation, and achieve sustainable success, all while balancing personal passions with professional excellence. When I’m not speaking or coaching, you’ll find me exploring new outdoor adventures or getting sidetracked by myriad activities I adore—particularly those that benefit my clients.

Let’s connect and explore how we can create a thriving environment where you and your team can truly shine.

P.S. Looking for a keynote speaker who not only delivers but truly engages? I would love to connect and discuss how I can bring a unique perspective to your event. My specialty is closing keynote sessions, weaving insights together to create a memorable and cohesive experience.

My favorite keynotes are called Let the Audience Choose – where I have four topics related to Leadership, Followership & Mental Health & the audience gets to choose in the moment where they want to focus!
