Step into Your Moxie is a certified woman-owned (WBENC) and disability-owned (Disability:IN) business enterprise that shows executives, business leaders, clinicians, consultants, (and the people they serve) across corporate, healthcare, and nonprofit sectors how to find their voice and master using it in communication. Our ‘secret sauce’ is teaching our clients how to develop the mindset and skillset to be present with the discomfort that often comes up when speaking—especially during high-stakes communication.Rooted in hands-on practice, our communication and leadership coaching, training, messaging, advocacy, certification, and Fractional Chief Learning Officer services ensure our clients can walk into any room, conversation, or onto any stage and speak up for themselves, their companies and important ideas, and call people to take action.Step into Your Moxie is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to creating safety and belonging for people from all backgrounds. This includes women, people of color, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people with disabilities, and people recovering from trauma and living with chronic illnesses.As the Founder and CEO, I am a sought-after communication and leadership advisor to executives, senior leaders, corporate teams, physicians, entrepreneurs, coaches, and changemakers who want to speak with candor and kindness, lead with emotional intelligence, sell their ideas, navigate daring conversations (and crisis communication), develop high performing teams, advance their thought leadership, and champion diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, justice, and well-being. Industry experience includes tech/start-up, healthcare, financial services, professional services, education, government/infrastructure, nonprofit, manufacturing, hospitality, gaming, construction, and the military. I have also contributed to media such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and Women’s Health Magazine.

As the Producer and Director of the New York City Student Shakespeare Festival, I develop and lead a yearly professional development program for 30+ NYC educators (K-12) that includes group training and coaching in co-intentional/learner-centered education, facilitation, theatre/directing, and Shakespeare. It culminates with 400-500 New York City schoolchildren performing their unique interpretations of Shakespeare's language, stories, and themes at an Off-Broadway theatre. I supervise a team of 5 teaching artists, design curriculum for/coordinate Shakespeare school residencies, oversee the recruitment of schools and teaching staff, and manage the professional development program budget.In addition, I run CAT's Paul A. Kaplan Center and oversee professional development programs for teachers, social workers, nonprofit leaders, and social innovators in areas such as diversity and inclusion, literacy, violence prevention, and healthy sexuality.As necessary, I support teaching and artistic staff by leading classroom residencies and facilitating after school programs.
