I am a busy woman, wife, mother, friend, dog mom, podcast host, advocate, speaker and writer. I am also a 2-time, 10-year survivor of breast cancer, which surprisingly changed my life for the better. When I turned 50, I adopted the mantra “I am grateful for this body, this breath and this life.” I am a Leo, which means I love being the center of all fun, but I’m also an Enneagram 2, “The Helper.” These two characteristics make for an interesting combination!

I am am a fierce breast cancer advocate and passionate about helping others. My upcoming book: I Never Liked Pink and Other Things I Learned From Cancer is a guide for facing trauma and healing through adversity. One of my happy places is on stage, connecting with audiences, discussing survivorship and giving hope on how to move forward in the face of life’s trials.
