About Me

A southern belle at heart, I grew up in North Carolina and Georgia. I graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. With 15 years of experience as a corporate trainer, I’ve worked with companies like Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Illinicare, and many schools and nonprofits. A published author, I live with my amazing husband and four beautiful children in Homewood, Illinois.

But I’ve had a long road to success. For years, I feared my own greatness. I wanted to be successful, but didn’t believe I deserved it. With no one to serve as a role model and show me how to succeed, I found myself wasting time wishing and dreaming. For a long time, I settled for less: meaningless relationships, dull jobs, uninspiring living environments.

This all changed when I started to develop an action-oriented mindset. I learned that when you’re unapologetically clear about what you want to achieve, nothing can stand in your way. I developed a method to help awaken this mindset in others, with a focus on transforming their public speaking skills. I can’t wait to show you what we can accomplish together..
