Author Bio

I was once on the road to Musical Theater Stardom in the New York City area and I did a lot to make my career happen. I did Children's Theater, Dinner Theater, Background Work, Voice-Over and even a couple of Off-Off Broadway Producer showcases of new shows. I was totally committed to my dream and grabbed as many opportunities as possible. I could've kept going and I might just have made it to Broadway at some point.

Then I decided to build a big business empire. I felt I needed to keep learning if I was going to grow that big business. After I spent those thousands of dollars and had that bill staring me in the face for a year, I started to think: What do I really want?

I don't want to see you get sucked into the same traps I did. Marketing is an easy rabbit hole to fall down and lose yourself in. That's why I wanted to help people avoid the rabbit hole by trusting in your values and building a solid foundation in marketing that honors who you are (regardless of how big or small you want your business to be).

Running this business for 12 years was a blast and I loved it until some time in early 2017. I had lost my passion and drive for running my business. I loved the work, but something had shifted and because of that, my business shifted too. By mid-2017, I was only doing calls with clients who 'found' me, but not marketing in any way. So, the business waned.

Then it became clear that I wanted to put my energies into the non-profit world where I felt I could make a different impact on changing lives.

So, I closed up my business and now I'm an employee, working for a non-profit that I love. Every day is filled with exciting new adventures and my passions are on fire again.
