I am a 3x founder and 4x mom and an accomplished marketing and advertising expert who has dedicated my career to helping businesses grow and thrive. With over two decades of working in large advertising agencies, I took the entrepreneurial leap and establish my own marketing and advertising agency in 2013, Bright Marketing, growing it into a multi-million dollar venture, a testament to my business and brand building acumen.As a founder, I was constantly looking for new ways to scale and help other entrepreneurs succeed, quite frankly was frustrated at feeling connected with my local founder community. After spending time researching entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems across the country, I recognized there was a gap in local entrepreneurial ecosystems from a founder's point of view. To solve that problem, I founded OrangeWIP, a media company that aims to be the connective tissue in local markets and alleviate the frustrations that founders often experience with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. By providing a comprehensive hyper-local media platform, OrangeWIP serves as a one-stop-shop for founders in affiliate cities, offering them the resources and support they need to grow their businesses. I am the host of the weekly podcast for founders, Hello Chaos, with new episodes dropping every Sunday. I love all things media and marketing and am a complete nerd for data. Working alongside our media team, Bright has developed innovative media tech to buy media smarter by predicting results. I design and conduct research studies that uncover valuable insights, helping to build healthier and more sustainable brands. As a trained facilitator, I design purpose-built workshops for leadership teams to help them develop sustainable brand strategies and overcome obstacles that may be holding their businesses back.We help businesses get unstuck and moving down a growth path.
