As an event host, producer, and creator, I manage a portfolio of brands where I create spaces to help people rediscover their authentic selves.

After being laid-off in 2015, I created The White Box Club®—coaching, resources, and networking opportunities for anyone laid off, unemployed, or in career transition. Membership and meetings are free and so are the new connections.Learn more at http://thewhiteboxclub.com* * * * * *What members are saying about The White Box Club®: "I recently landed a fantastic job, and the relationships and recommendations from The White Box Club had a great deal to do with it.
