I’m a social entrepreneur with three decades of experience doing diversity, equity and inclusion work in healthcare, education and the business sector. I have had the privilege of working with over 20,000 women over the course of my career, helping them find their voice & visibility. From my early years as a social worker, to my most recent role as producer of the Voice + Visibility Women’s Summit, the stories of diverse women and their strength have inspired my dedication to elevating female leadership. I got my BA from Colgate University and my MSW from Smith College School for Social Work. I love living in sunny Sarasota, FL with my husband Neil, two teenage sons, and a growing tribe of pets.
