My life has never followed a straight line, and I've come to appreciate that.
I've been fortunate to experience many different chapters in my life—from fashion and television to luxury, beauty, sports and media. Each one has expanded my world, but the experiences that have stayed with me most are the ones that allowed me to connect with people.
For more than a decade, I built a career in the luxury world, cultivating relationships with an extraordinary clientele that included celebrities, executives, dignitaries and families from around the world. Working at that level taught me that true luxury is deeply personal. It's about listening, anticipating needs, earning trust and creating an experience that makes someone feel genuinely cared for. Those lessons continue to shape how I work and how I serve today.
Connection Has Always Come Naturally To Me. I Love Discovering What Makes People Who They Are, Hearing The Story Behind The Story And Creating Spaces Where People Feel Comfortable Enough To Simply Be Themselves.
That became even more important when I became a mother.
Raising a student-athlete introduced me to a world that extended far beyond wins and losses. I saw the sacrifice, pressure, resilience and family support behind the jersey. It solidified my commitment to advocating for student-athletes and creating conversations that recognize the whole person—not simply the athlete.
Service has shaped me just as deeply.
For years, I've worked alongside organizations supporting children, families and underserved communities. I'm especially passionate about girls and young women and encouraging them to embrace who they are, develop confidence in their own voices and understand that authenticity will always be more powerful than trying to become someone else's version of success.
Today, I'm bringing those worlds together.
Through The Mama Bear Network, my work as a host, producer, speaker, lifestyle consultant and community advocate allows me to connect people, ideas and organizations around conversations and experiences that matter.

Sports. Beauty. Wellness. Faith. Family. Culture. community. To me, they aren't separate lanes. They're all part of how we live.
