For as long as I can remember, I have used my voice to share uplifting messages, first through song and then through written and spoken words. I entered journalism to tell true stories of people, places, and events. I became a marketing strategist to influence attitudes and, frankly, sell ideas and products. I have a knack for public speaking because words have power. My words define who I am, how I show up, and what impact I want to make on the world. Your words do too.
