About Me
I'm a podcast host, event emcee, fitness professional, and advocate for living boldly. My work lives at the intersection of inspiration and action — whether that’s on stage, at the gym, or online. I believe confidence isn’t something you find — it’s something you build.
​
As a type 1 diabetes advocate, mom, and former Mrs. Ohio American, I use every platform I’ve been given to uplift others and remind them of their own power.
