A Bit About Me

Corporate Attorney. Podcast Host. Speaker. Advocate for Women Leaders.

​

My mom always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be. I took that literally, becoming the first in my family to attend college and law school. Being a first-generation student challenged me, but it also inspired me to help pave the way for women like myself who are chasing big dreams.

​

That desire to uplift, empower, and inspire rising women leaders is at the heart of everything I do.

​

As the Host of "Lead Fearlessly: Strategies of Confident Women Leaders," I interview women leaders from all industries to collect their leadership tips and strategies for success. Lead Fearlessly empowers women to unleash their inner strength and embrace leadership with confidence.

 

Locally, I serve as the Vice-President of Women Standing Together, an organization in Maine that fosters women leaders and entrepreneurs through leadership training, networking, and professional development opportunities.

 

I am a sought-after speaker on topics including networking, personal branding, and battling impostor syndrome. My work has been recognized in esteemed publications like Bold Journey, Fashion Republic, lafiesta Magazine, Gladys Magazine, and Marie Claire. 

​

Additionally, I'm a self-proclaimed "contracts nerd"  passionate about providing legal advice to help businesses thrive. With extensive experience in reviewing complex contracts, I have worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies worldwide, driving innovation while mitigating risk. 

​

I am honored to hold the title of National United States Maine Mrs. 2025, using my platform to advocate for women leaders, raise awareness of my podcast, and share the knowledge I have learned throughout my career.
