People turn to me when they're tired of feeling invisible, worn out from playing small, and exhausted from chasing prospective clients.
Together, we dive deep into their story, uncover their magic, and craft a niched brand that draws clients like fans to a Beyoncé concert.
I stopped trying to serve everyone and offer all the things. I got strategic, became a specialist as a brand strategist/niche expert, and made myself visible. That’s when my brand gained serious traction, and I became recognized as an expert in my industry.
Now, I share this wisdom and experience with other women-owned businesses that struggle with building their niched brand.
I know firsthand what it’s like to be on the branding-struggle bus. Not too long ago, I had what I call a junk-drawer brand—I was doing everything from family photos to headshots to Instagram workshops to brand strategy.
No one knew what I was an expert in because I was too scared to commit and narrow my focus. My branding was all over the place, and I was burnt out from trying to do it all. And my rock-bottom bank account reflected this.
But everything changed when I decided to leverage my strengths, focus on my expertise, and commit to my special sauce (aka niche).

When I'm not building brands, you'll find me curled up with a good book by the fireplace, savoring a steaming mug of coffee or a glass of cabernet.
I also enjoy leisurely walks with my moody mini Bernedoodle Jax, and daydreaming about our next global adventure. I live in a beautiful coastal town in Maine with my husband and three sons.
A Crime Junkie fanatic.
A 90s hip-hop lover
(TLC, Janet Jackson, Salt-N-Pepa are a few faves).
