IMMENSE CHALLENGES ARE MAJOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND INNOVATION.
I’m passionate about blending the power of story, data, and insights to extinguish limiting beliefs in order to empower people and organizations to unlock their infinite potential. I work with companies to create tools and deliver messages that cultivate changes needed to make education, work places, and media more equitable and inclusive.
SOME OF MY CLIENTS & PARTNERS INCLUDE
CHOOSING COURAGE OVER COMFORT
LIVING BOLDLY
To pursue our dreams, we have to find the courage to take risks and make bold decisions. My journey has challenged me to exercise faith and persevere in the face of setbacks, challenging life events, and failures. Through it all, three things — a sense of purpose, a passionate heart, and a commitment to love — have enabled me to overcome the fears that can hold so many of us back.
When I allow purpose + passion + love to guide me, it becomes a superpower.
INSPIRATION
INFORMATIVE & DYNAMIC STORYTELLING
As a speaker, I anchor my talks with my personal journey and weave in universal themes, data and insights to help audiences connect, learn, and feel seen.
I am an international advocate for equity and inclusion in education, media, and STEM fields, and have shared my work and story throughout the United States and around the world. I have had the great privilege of being invited to motivate, educate, and inspire a wide range of audiences of all ages in various walks of life — from young children to college students, as well as educators, administrators, corporate leaders, creatives, and other professionals.

As a Senior Policy Advisor at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in the Obama Administration, I oversaw development and implementation of a national initiative, the “Image of STEM,” which was designed to raise visibility and improve the image of STEM fields and careers in order to help promote diversity in the STEM workforce.
