EXPERIENCE

20+ years speaking to founder families, leadership teams, and parent communities—from national media to corporate events. I've appeared on national TV and radio, delivered talks at conferences and expos, and worked as parenting spokesperson for an international magazine. I bring that same warmth and practicality to every stage.
