Starting off way back at age 18, I was pursuing a dream to run my own business. I had the privilege to do exactly that at age 21, when I opened and managed a fine dining restaurant. Through the experience, I gained a keen instinct for taking care of the needs of others.At age 24, I became one of the very first qualified executive coaches in Australia, working in my own company Lifestyle Revolution. I spent the majority of my 20s working with people one-to-one from all corners of the globe. During this time, I coached over 500 amazing people in areas such as confidence, goal setting, procrastination, and communication.At age 30, I was fortunate to become part of the team at Prime Practice, a consulting service that specializes in creating freedom and control for dental practices. Since then I have enjoyed the chance to work with dentists and their teams all around Australia, the USA, Canada, and the UK as a result. In 2010, I was able to use this experience to make a move to beautiful Orange County, California.In 2012, I began trying my hand at public speaking and found I have a passion for it. I've since had the chance to compete at the highest levels of Toastmasters International speech contests, winning four District speech contests, and am a six-time semi-finalist in the 2014, 2015, 2017, 2023, and 2024 World Championships of Public Speaking. In 2019, I was privileged to reach the finals of the World Championships.My passion for speaking has also led me to begin to deliver TEDx talks and Keynote presentations for corporate and community groups. My main speaking topics are self-improvement, emerging trends in technology, and how they are changing who we are as people.In mid-2018, I began my next business adventure by launching my own content writing and marketing agency, Shorthand Content Marketing. Through my writing and consulting service, I assist influencers, entrepreneurs, and companies in creating compelling SEO content content for their marketing, blogs, and social media.In 2020, I joined the team at Codeless and uSERP as a growth consultant assisting SaaS, eCommerce, and B2B companies to grow their online reach through content marketing and link building.In 2022, I began working with the Service Business Evolution team as a marketing and business strategy consultant, focusing on helping their clients grow their online reach, brand recognition, and company revenue.
