No matter what I’ve done in my life, I’ve always tried to embrace my endless creativity and passion. It’s in my DNA.

I’ve had a diverse career as a marketing and branding consultant, copywriter, graphic designer, author, professional speaker, singer-songwriter, educator, television show host, and nonprofit executive. I studied music and art as part of my education, graduating with an honors Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees.
