My purpose in life is to inspire young adults to become fearless leaders who lead with heart, empathy, integrity, transparency, and authenticity. I work with you by identifying your personal brand, which includes your strengths, personality, values, and beliefs so you can have an authentic and purposeful career.  I am a former business owner, I've ran multiple internship programs at large companies, I've worked in the corporate world for 13 years managing teams, and I have a Masters degree in Business Leadership (which I managed to earn during a pandemic, working full time, creating this space, and having my two children home... talk about anxiety!).

I believe everyone has a story and was created the way they were with intention.

hello!

The name ‘Unapologetic Leaders’ was created as a voice. A voice to remind people to stay true to their values and beliefs by being unapologetically themselves. When I was young in my career I didn’t have a mentor or sense of what professionalism looked like and how I fit in. I was sexually assaulted at 25 years old by one of my supervisors and when I asked for help I received zero support from my HR department, my leadership failed me. It wasn’t until my mid-thirties after I owned a successful business, led teams of my own, and had children that I realized the severity of what happened to me in my twenties.  

I am here to tell you to be unapologetically yourself! Whether you believe in God, the Universe, or whatever spirituality that calls to you, I want you to know you were created with intention, purpose, and the skills you need to succeed. 

Welcome to Unapologetic Leaders, where we are authentically ourselves and lead with heart.
