A bit more about me...
I am an entrepreneur who lives for expanding humanity and innovating people work!
From being the little girl who sold shares in her "company" and played HR (even firing my own mother!) to the traveling entrepreneur and international speaker that I am now, I have had quite a journey! I have eight invisible disabilities, both neuro and physical, and I am successful WITH my diagnoses, not in spite of them.
Born in Dallas, Texas I began rescuing animals early on, and as an adult, I became a proud foster mama, even for wolves, big cats, and exotic animals, so I know no fear!
Most of my early professional life was spent with start-ups and I grew to truly enjoy and thrive in that world, especially in my favorite role, working with the travel partner to the Dallas Cowboys!
My parents always encouraged my entrepreneurial spirit, and boy did that pay off!
I currently live in Florida working as a hands-on international People Operations Consultant, which I began in 2014 with the purpose of shaking up HR. I have definitely honored that purpose by creating the program Universal Workplace Design which reinvents workplace design and people operations. Oh! I nearly forgot... I also invented the first ever anti-bias ATS and founded a neurodiversity-focused not for profit, The Neuroverse!
In my spare time I also Host a podcast/show: Career Launch Live. What can I say? I love to be busy.
Inclusion, Accessible Design, and People Operations have become my passions, and I am dedicating my life to growing them on a large scale.
My missions are: Integrity, Inclusion, Innovation
I have spoken for AIMS (United Nations), London School of Business, SHRM, HRDS, Success Champions, and many more wonderful events, organizations, and shows.
I love to have fun and engage my audience while helping their lightbulbs light!
