Experience
Author, Motivational Speaker, Life Coach, Comedian
Mar 2015 — Present · Seattle, WA, US
I have cultivated the Own Your Awkward movement to empower individuals and organizations to lean into their authentic selves and turn what feels like awkwardness into a superpower for growth and leadership. Through motivational speaking, coaching, and comedy, I help people and teams embrace their unique stories, foster connection, and unlock potential that drives both personal and professional transformation.My approach centers on employee engagement as a key driver of organizational success: when people feel supported and motivated, businesses see improved performance, higher retention, and meaningful ROI. I partner with leaders and teams to deliver tailored coaching experiences, interactive workshops, and keynote presentations that cultivate resilience, authentic leadership, and collaborative cultures.As an author, I’ve created multiple personal development books and guided journals that support mindset shifts and lasting change, helping readers master transformation and reframe their thinking for success. My Own Your Awkward seminars and speaking courses bring humor, heart, and practical insight together to make growth accessible, memorable, and fun.My mission is simple: to inspire individuals to own their stories, lead with confidence, and create lasting impact in their lives, teams, and organizations.
