I share tips & stories about job hunting, leadership, and marketing yourself | Demand Gen @ Aion | Creator of This Could've Been an Email

According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional operations, and speaker scouting. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub — which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature.

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals &amp; entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want.

The tl;dr:
↳ Bestselling author of The Unapologetic Professional
↳ Keynote speaker, advisor, and marketer
↳ Helping people rethink work without burning it all down
↳ Host of Stop the Scroll, co-creator of Let Her Cook 🌮👀 

As seen in/at: HubSpot, Harvard, Fast Company, Stanford, CNBC, American Marketing Association, and more.

Outside of work: Big fan of tattoos, cookie-scented candles, and the Oxford comma.

The world feels so heavy. And the calendar still says "10am team sync."

There's something v dystopian about being expected to treat work as business-as-usual while being handed headlines that knock the wind out of us. 🫠

Work doesn't stop. And for many of us, it helps. It gives me structure, something to focus on, and a sense of purpose. And I care deeply about my work, clients, and team. But expecting people to fully detach from everything else they're navigating is the part that feels outdated.

We're living through a different work reality than our parents and grandparents. The information hit differently. You weren't watching a crisis unfold in real time on your phone between Slack messages. The boundary between "life" and "work" barely exists anymore, but for some reason we're still pretending it does.

As I build my business this year, I'm thinking less about optimizing output and more about how to lead in this constant state of in-between, where people are capable, committed, and still very human. 🫶🏽

If you ask me, the future of work isn't about learning how to compartmentalize 24/7. It's learning how to do meaningful work without asking people to leave half of themselves at the door.

How your email is finding me after a weekend of being glued to the news (again), hearing about a certain social media management platform, and realizing it’s still January.

P.S. Abolish ICE.

My #1 Goal: Disrupting autopilot in education-to-employment systems.

My work lives between the education and employment gap, where people are asked to make life-shaping choices without clear insight into their skills, interests, or how opportunity systems actually work. This gap is where talent is most often misjudged, not because people lack ability, but because systems recognize effort too late.

I build programs, tech products, and measurement frameworks that surface early signals of career intent, enabling regions to reduce talent & job mismatch, strengthen talent pipelines, and plan more responsively. Most recently, I built Scouta, a predictive labor market intelligence tool, that translates career curiosity into actionable regional insight.

I do this work because the future of work isn’t just about jobs, it’s also about, "The Future of Talent," and whether regions learn to see talent early enough to keep it.

~~~
I’ve led large-scale system builds across education, workforce development, and talent pipelines, including:

📌 Architecting and launching a federally backed AI literacy education initiative on track to serve 400,000 learners

📌 Building scalable, AI-enabled career guidance infrastructure through proprietary technology, Scouta and Career CoPilot, now used by classrooms, career counselors, and learners

📌 Designing and leading multi-cohort college and workforce readiness programs for first-generation high school and college students


Across my work, I focus on:

- Helping regions build future-ready talent pipelines
- Translating workforce trends into practical, skills-based readiness
- Designing clear, navigable paths from learning to employment
- Rapidly building and launching programs that work in real-world settings
- Telling clear, evidence-based stories that help communities understand, and invest in talent


💼 Organizations I’ve Worked With: Uber, Warner Bros. Discovery, ACT, CUNY, Google Women Techmakers, and Morning Brew

My Causes:
❤️ Google Women Techmakers Ambassador
❤️ Scholastic Innovation Lab Ambassador

Let’s connect if you’re shaping early-talent pathways, strengthening youth career readiness ecosystems, or rethinking how workforce systems identify and develop talent.

This is a piece of the work experience that is often skipped over/not talked about.

Creative Director & Strategist | B2B Tech | Turning marketing insights and trends into creative advantage

Signs you're talented but not at the right company:

- You're curious and ask questions all the time
- You have a track record of great performance in previous roles 
- You've genuinely always had great work ethic
- You seek training, even when it's not handed to you
- You lead with confidence 

If you do all of these things and still feel like you're going nowhere, it may be time for a change. Or you may not be set up for success with your current company.

Go where you are appreciated. ✨

Note: This is not about me. I'm really happy where I'm at but figured someone out there needed to hear this. Happy Friyay! 💙
