As the CEO of American Friends of NATAL and a member of the Forbes Business Council, I sit at the intersection of high-stakes philanthropy and the evolving science of human resilience. With over 15 years of experience leading non-profit initiatives, my mission is to redefine how we approach mental health, not just as a clinical term, but as a foundational pillar of the modern workplace and global leadership.

I am a passionate advocate for women in leadership and a firm believer that being a mother makes me a more effective executive.

I speak candidly about the "juggling act" and why the future of work requires a shift from rigid corporate structures to trauma-informed, empathetic leadership.

I bring a blend of strategic data and lived experience to every conversation. I can dive deep into:

• The Future of Work: Moving past "burnout" to build sustainable, resilience-focused cultures.
• Philanthropy as Connection: Why modern giving is about community and shared humanity, not just transactions.
• Motherhood & The C-Suite: Navigating the unique challenges of female leadership while raising the next generation.
• Post-Traumatic Growth: How individuals and organizations can emerge from crisis stronger than before.

When I’m not scaling impact for NATAL, you’ll find me on my Peloton or practicing yoga—refining the same balance and mindfulness I bring to the boardroom. I believe there is no competition in healing, only collective progress, and I look forward to sharing that vision with your audience.
