AUTHOR
As the author of Bravely Becoming: Overcoming Grief and Loss to Find Yourself Again, I’ve channeled my personal journey and professional expertise into a heartfelt guide for navigating life’s toughest challenges. My writing offers readers hope, connection, and practical tools to rediscover their strength and purpose.
EDUCATOR
As a passionate educator and professor of public speaking, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering others to find their voice and share their stories with confidence. Through workshops, presentations, and mentorship, I help individuals and organizations communicate with clarity, authenticity, and impact.
ADVOCATE
As a four-time melanoma survivor, I’ve turned my personal battle into a passionate advocacy for cancer awareness, education, and policy change. From speaking at local events to testifying before Congress, I strive to amplify the voices of those impacted by cancer and ensure no one faces their journey alone.
My hope is that together, by sharing our stories and our strengths, we can lift each other up…helping all survivors feel safe and at home in their bodies once again.
