Overview
I help women lead with truth. I help organizations lead with clarity. And I do it from the stage, the boardroom, and the coaching room. After more than 20 years leading brands, building inclusive teams, and occupying C-suite seats, I founded Legacy Rising because I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant women and purpose-driven organizations struggling to show up as who they actually are. Performance was being rewarded. Authenticity was being penalized. That had to change.

I help women lead with truth. I help organizations lead with clarity. And I do it from the stage, the boardroom, and the coaching room. After more than 20 years leading brands, building inclusive teams, and occupying C-suite seats, I founded Legacy Rising because I kept seeing the same thing: brilliant women and purpose-driven organizations struggling to show up as who they actually are. Performance was being rewarded. Authenticity was being penalized. That had to change. Today, Legacy Rising organizes that work into three areas: Coaching and Community I offer healing-informed executive coaching, small-group Legacy Circles, and Letters-to-Self workshops for women at every stage of their leadership journey. Whether you are developing your voice or navigating the loneliness of the C-suite, this work meets you where you are and moves you toward who you are meant to become. Consulting and Strategy I serve as a Fractional CMO and Fractional Chief of Staff for founder-led teams, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations that need senior strategic leadership without a full-time hire. I also step into Interim Executive roles during transitions, bringing steady leadership, brand clarity, and cultural alignment when organizations need it most. Speaking and Storytelling I bring truth, strategy, and soul to every stage. My keynotes and workshops spark resilience, authentic leadership, and personal brand clarity for corporate audiences, conferences, and organizations investing in their people. Current topics include Finding Joy in Life’s Journey and Making Your Personal Brand Stand Out. My debut book, Dear Daughter: A Journey to Power, Purpose, and Identity, is forthcoming. My work is grounded in a simple belief: your identity is not a limitation. It is your strategy. If you are an event organizer looking for a speaker who will move your audience, a founder who needs a strategic partner, or a woman leader ready to rise fully and unapologetically, I would love to connect.
