Chief Evangelist, Community Strategist, Co-Founder of Wednesday Women, Startup Advisor, Ex-Stay-At-Home Mom

I'm the Co-Founder of Wednesday Women and the Founder of Chief Evangelist Consulting: two ventures grounded in a core belief: community isn’t a tactic, it’s a force.

Wednesday Women began as a ripple in 2023 as a small, intentional effort to elevate executive women. We amplify women’s voices on LinkedIn, on stages, on podcasts, not as polished personas, but as their real, remarkable selves (the woman behind the title). Our public platform is for everyone, and we’ve built a private membership for executive women who want to go deeper with that mission and create connections both help unlock challenges but also are their biggest cheerleaders. 

Through Chief Evangelist Consulting, I help companies design community strategies that create lasting engagement. With 20+ years in customer-facing leadership roles, I approach community as a strategic lever, rooted in trust, value, and connection.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of evangelism, authenticity, and shared momentum.

And yes — I run on coffee, dark chocolate, trying (and failing) to keep me very vocal dog in check and talking loudly about diversity in tech.

Sales is part of my DNA. Some background, my dad spanned a career in sales for 35+ years and always tried to influence me to pursue something similar. Though, I had a mind of my own and took a brief detour to pursue broadcast journalism. I quickly realized that field just wasn’t for me. However, it helped shape my ability to think quickly on my feet, speak in a confident and articulate manner, and learn how to present “on camera” in pre-Zoom days. 

For the last 20 years, I've built my career on one simple principle - work smarter, not harder. My track record of success demonstrates my ability to lead, instruct, train, and motivate others. 

I consider myself a “collaborator” (and so do the assessments like Kolbe and Predictive Index) across the business, eager to lead and connect people to align on objectives and identify best practices to accelerate sales velocity. 
 
Who am I outside of the 9-5 grind? 

I’m an ambivert, I enjoy staying active playing golf, tennis, and paddle, traveling, and being Mom to two girls!
