About

I'm on a mission to make sure talented professionals are no longer the best-kept secret at work – so they get recognized, get promoted, and become impossible to ignore. For a long time, I did strong work, was prepared, and patiently waited my turn... ... and I watched others move ahead while I stayed invisible. The transformation came when I stopped being a passive participant in my career and started taking ownership of how I showed up. Within a year, I stepped into a Director role, learned to speak publicly despite deep nerves and introversion, and built a side business alongside my full-time job. Then, in late 2022, I was laid off. That side business became RISE Learning Solutions, built on more than a decade of experience as a founding editor at LinkedIn, Prezi, and other leading tech companies. Today, I speak at organizations like Amazon, Zoom, and Cisco, teach on platforms like MasterClass and LinkedIn Learning, and create content and courses for global companies and brands. My #1 bestselling book, Unforgettable Presence®, is the resource I wish I had when I felt overlooked. It’s written for professionals who want to show up with clarity, confidence, and intention without becoming louder, more performative, or someone they’re not.
