I don’t believe the world needs louder voices—we need wiser ones.
I grew up learning how to read a room before I even knew how to read a book. As a young mom, a Navy Reservist, and a biracial woman in corporate America, I’ve spent my life navigating pressure and expectation. But I’ve also learned to find power in presence, joy in stillness, and clarity in the noise. I speak because I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, unseen, or disconnected. I teach because I believe we can do better—for ourselves and for each other.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve led teams at Fortune 100 companies, delivered keynotes across the country, and founded Presence Over Pixels to help people reclaim their attention and deepen their relationships. My work blends data, story, and soul—offering practical tools that resonate with both head and heart.
I believe we’re starving for real connection. We scroll more but feel less. We’re plugged in but burned out. My mission is to help people pause, reconnect, and show up fully—in work, in relationships, and in life. I'm not against technology, I simply want everyone to have balanced, healthy relationships with technology.
When I’m not speaking or writing, you’ll find me singing with my band Bourbon Jury, laughing with my kids, or cooking something that probably involves too much garlic or red pepper (they're seriously my favorite spices).
I’m fueled by curiosity, guided by truth, and forever rooting for the underdog.
Welcome.
Let’s build something real.
