Welcome.

I've spent my career at the intersection of law, business, and people.

 I've built businesses, developed programs, trained thousands of professionals, and spoken at conferences and law schools across the country. As a lawyer, marketing strategist, executive coach, law professor, Chief Marketing and Business Development Officer, and edtech founder, my work has always been about helping people build careers and businesses they love.


I've written for major publications and presented for organizations like the American Bar Association and the Legal Marketing Association. My newest program, The Job Jumpstart, is a video-on-demand course for lawyers ready to find new opportunities. 


Everything I do is grounded in the passion for the work I do and communities I serve. 


I warmly invite you to explore the numerous platforms and programs below to learn more about my work, and to find resources that support you in your personal and professional endeavors.
