Creative Leadership, Strategy, and Storytelling
Hi, there.
I champion teams, design content, create user experiences, and craft stories.
My career has spanned broadcast, digital, publishing, and tech. I’m also an author, podcaster, and speaker on life after divorce.
Currently serving everyday entrepreneurs at GoDaddy as Director of UX, Design Strategy, and Content.
Three years leading content ecosystems for Intuit, maker of QuickBooks, TurboTax, CreditKarma, and MailChimp.
Twelve years with Oprah as a co-producer on The Oprah Show, Oprah’s Book Club, and Super Soul Sunday for OWN - the job of a lifetime, meeting people I will never forget.
Co-founder of Thirsty: the Podcast, seeking to help divorcées everywhere make their next chapter their best chapter.
Author of The Happily Never After, featuring perspectives on navigating life’s biggest challenges.
Three years with Tribune Publishing leading teams to design and produce branded content strategies for brands like Nestlé Waters, Walgreens Beauty, FX, Jewel-Osco, Infiniti, Michelob Ultra, and Menards.
Winner of Emmys, Gracies, Digiday, INMA, and Communicator awards—to start.
I’m a Trekkie, a puzzler, and a stand-up comic. Running is The Worst, and I can’t really swim, so it makes sense that I am also a triathlete.
Sitting still has never been my forte. Say hi!
