I am about all things 𝐉𝐨𝐲 professionally and personally. I call it 𝐉𝐨𝐲𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 when you’re at your best and when you feel most alive and not just your “wheelhouse” or areas of expertise.

CNN, CBS, Brave Girls podcast, and Art Talk Magazine are media outlets that have featured my 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 stories about how to cultivate joy and purpose in life. 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 means taking 𝐁ravery + 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 and turning tough times into tenacious triumphs with relentless humor, optimism, and joy.

Prior to launching Journey to Joyhouse, I was a Public Service senior-level executive at Accenture where I led global teams that delivered effective solutions for clients in the nonprofit, education, and government sectors.

My 𝐉𝐨𝐲𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 spans public speaking, workforce development, communications and marketing, media training, crisis communications, leadership and curriculum development, nonprofit strategy, grants management, federal funds management, and compliance and reporting.

I was an adjunct professor at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business where I taught an upper-level marketing course for four years. As a trained executive coach through the Robin Hood Executive Leadership Development Program, I tell coaching clients that you've always had the answers to some of your greatest challenges. I partner with you to guide you along the path that is uniquely yours.

Covenant House New Jersey’s Board of Directors is where I'm grateful to serve youth experiencing homelessness and survivors of human trafficking. This community of youth, staff, donors, and volunteers means everything to me.

When I am not doing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workouts, yoga, Pilates, or other fitness activities, I'm joyfully exploring nature. I have called New York City home for over 25 years, yet I'm forever a Carolina girl born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina.

My one and only son teaches me so much about life including, "Sometimes you have to risk it to win."

One last thing I’ll share is my life’s purpose: To make a meaningful and sustainable difference in the lives of others by being of service.
