Finding Inspiration Daily in Automotive
Join me on my journey through professional & personal life post-cancer, in leadership, & among Automotive industry change.
Join me on my journey through professional & personal life post-cancer, in leadership, & among Automotive industry change.
I broke into digital marketing at the very beginning, working with Automotive dealers since 2005. I’ve become an expert in the areas of Sales, Marketing, & Leadership on the East Coast of the United States from Rhode Island to Florida. I live in the Mid-Hudson River Valley region of NY with my husband Kris. We have 2 grown children and a granddaughter who live out of state. When we're not working, we’re spending time with friends, family, & traveling. Over the years we have been entrepreneurs in the areas of real estate development, farming, and distilling.
I love fashion, to travel, cook, eat, entertain, fish, & garden in my spare time. I love having coffee on my front porch and watching the wildlife in the woods of NY or in the Newport, RI, Florida & Florida Keys ocean!

As a female in a male dominated industry, Automotive, I have the unique opportunity to impact an undervalued, growing segment of brilliant, organized minds - WOMEN! By hiring more women, everyone involved benefits exponentially. I spend my days studying the Automotive Industry, world economics and impacts in general, and improving leadership and motivation.
As a two-times cancer survivor who has overcome not only the battles of the physical disease, but has beat psychological wars such as survivor’s guilt, I’ve grown to share my story transparently, motivating the world to live each day to the fullest and respect the time we have been granted on earth together.
My Mission is to positively impact as many people as possible by inspiring and coaching them to grow toward achieving their individual goals and dreams.
