I cut my teeth in the world of Business Development at bright bold age of 13 as I watched my father befriend just about anyone, create opportunities for so many through his thoughtful matchmaking, and motivate and inspire people to be a part of anything he was focused on- business, philanthropy, hobby, etc.- through his magnetic spirit.

This has shaped my approach to Business Development and to life.

At its simplest core, Business Development is nothing more that the ability to identify opportunities- opportunities for growth, opportunities to help, opportunities to reciprocate, opportunities to serve. My reputation in the community as a "super-connector" and savvy strategist really just stems from these simplistic core values.

My professional journey has led me to spearhead two projects that are very important to me. In 2021, I Co-Founded The Daily Drip. In November of 2023, I was recruited to lead the Business Development strategy and implementation for a new organization- International Staff Augmentation, which provides innovative staffing solutions for businesses seeking to scale by leveraging the power of remote global talent.

My community service is an integral part of my work and my life. I am a proud member of the Joe DiMaggio Planned Giving committee, a Board Member for Piper’s Angels Foundation, a 3 x Crossing Crusader and Mentor for the Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis, Mentor for the Crossing for CF, member of Women Know Y for the YMCA of South Florida, Club 211 Broward Lifetime Member, member of Junior Achievement's Circle of Wise Women, and Co-President for the South Florida International Business Development Professional (IBDP) Association Chapter.

I am the proud mother of Jonah (22) and Abby (20) and dedicated most of my adult life to raising them. Reentering the workforce at 40, I found myself starting my career while many of my peers were achieving their milestones. However, in a very short period of time, I was able to build my network, my influence, and my businesses, by leaning into my core values of identifying opportunities and creating opportunities for others.
