Serial tech entrepreneur, business operator, and strategic advisor with deep experience starting and growing consumer-digital businesses. 

As a growth and product-driven startup founder, I have a proven track record of building and growing innovative products used by millions. I have achieved successful exits while overseeing multiple C-Level executive roles for publicly traded, growth stage, and venture-backed startups. I have a bias for action and a passion for solving big problems. Proven ability to innovate and deliver rapid revenue and user growth. 

At the intersection of my passion for pets and online dating expertise, I co-founded AllPaws. This innovative, online dating-style pet adoption platform quickly gained millions of users and was acquired by the pet industry leader, PetSmart. 

Before that, as co-founder I helped build and lead publicly traded SNAP Interactive from inception to rank as the 36th fastest growing technology company in North America with 4,400% revenue growth over 5 years, $20 million+ in annual revenue, and over 100 million users of our online dating apps and social products. 

Today, I advise businesses and startups on optimizing their digital and product growth strategies. Additionally, I coach entrepreneurs and business leaders on building high-income personal brands, and advise top influencers, models, and creators on growing and monetizing their audiences.

I continue to work on new projects, explore new opportunities, and advise. 

Been featured in ABC News, Bloomberg, Good Morning America, TechCrunch, Fox 5 News,  Huffington Post, Mashable, Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider, and many other top tier publications.

The key to growing a startup in 3 steps.

Test → Learn → Iterate

Then double down on what’s working.

Tight feedback cycles let you gather data and make progress as quickly as possible.

(Quick clip from a podcast I did with Adam Metwally on growth + why virality is harder than people think.)

But here’s the part nobody really wants to admit:

You can’t really “engineer” virality.

Everyone thinks they know what will go viral…

until they post something they’re sure will rip, and it flops.

Then they post something random…

and it takes off...

That’s why “going viral” isn’t a strategy.

The right systems are.

You can’t force outcomes.

But you can run enough reps to find them.

That’s how you win in growth when there’s no formula.

The winners don’t predict virality. They build systems that find it.

What’s the most surprising post you’ve ever had take off?

Everyone is chasing after abundance, thriving businesses, and living a fulfilling, peaceful, life.  I figured out how.
With over 20 years experience of coaching women, I can show you how to shift your mindset, strengthen your faith, and lead with boldness and clarity—both in life and in business.

For years, I’ve coached women who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure of their next move—even though they’re successful on paper.
They’re ambitious, talented, and driven… but often held back by fear, doubt, comparison, or burnout.

I help, coach, and guide women to reframe their thinking through God’s truth so they can stop second-guessing themselves, and start walking fully in who God created them to be, with boldness and confidence. 

Whether you’re making big business decisions, leading a team, or simply trying to stay grounded in your personal life—you don’t have to do it alone or in your own strength.

Let me help you:
✅ Renew your mind with God’s truth
✅ Drop the pressure and pick up peace
✅ Build unshakable belief in yourself—because God already believes in you
✅ Lead yourself (and others) with clarity, confidence, and conviction

Let’s turn overwhelm into opportunity, and fear into faith-fueled action. You were born to lead;  This is the PRAY-LEAD-EMPOWER WAY. 

📩 Let’s connect—or DM me to learn more about coaching, my mentorship programs, or speaking opportunities.

As a breast cancer survivor, a 4X national bikini champion, and victor over a profound struggle with depression, I have attributed my resilience and success to my devoted life of prayer. My personal journey is a testament to the power of faith and the impact of embracing authenticity, even through life's toughest trials, and now I help women do the same. 
I’ve been featured on ABC, iHeartMedia, and in publications like Oxygen, Link2Us, Aspiring Magazine, Thrive Today, and on Cornerstone TV Network, Life Today with James Robison, Campus Crusade Radio, and Morning Jolt—among many others.

What I Do & How I Can Help You:
🔹 Faith-Based Coaching & Mentorship – Helping women overcome fear, build confidence, and align their lives with God’s purpose.
🔹 High-Energy Speaking – Inspiring audiences to step into their calling, lead with faith, and take massive action.
🔹 Leadership & Personal Development – Teaching you how to lead yourself well, make bold decisions, and create a life of impact.
🔹 Community & Connection – You don’t have to walk this journey alone. I’ve built a faith-filled community of women who are committed to growth, courage, and leadership.
