MY JOURNEY

The impetus for The Upgrade was my two-decade experience growing up in media and entertainment within established organizations and startup culture. I rebuilt teams, rebranded organizations, tackled high stakes challenges, and navigated the highs and lows of leadership with grit, creativity, and resilience. I figured out how to climb, sprint, crawl, make it up, spin it and hold on tight. I earned a seat at the table, got pushed down, lost my footing and kept myself above water without insisting on the support I deserved to thrive. 

​

My ultimate goal is to take what I have learned, seen and experienced to help talented women reimagine the path to professional and personal success, shine bright(er) and get to their north star—on their own terms. â€‹
