My personal why is spreading joy and connecting people. I believe we are all connected, and that blending digital literacy and technology with empathy and listening is how we elevate each other in the world.
For more than 20 years I have been building communities and a champion and mentor for women’s issues and Diversity & Inclusion in Technology. Over the years, as a business owner, consultant, award-winning Chief Marketing Officer, producer, writer, podcast host, and Office Apps and Services Microsoft MVP, I’ve built thousands of programs, communities, high-value strategies, and storytelling to businesses and individuals through marketing their products and services.
I am thrilled to use my days to build community as Principal PM Manager for Microsoft’s Low Code Application and Automation Platform also called Power Platform.
And as well, by night, I write, podcast, and speak about employee engagement and healthy workplaces and mentor entrepreneurs (including women and students), helping businesses and individuals maximize their results by telling their best stories. And I try to sleep a bit too.
I also host the interview-style podcast, Mavens Do It Better – www.mavensdoitbetter.com, where I am humbled and grateful to hear and share stories from extraordinary experts who bring light to our world.
I love noodling on ideas and helping my fellow humans #Flipthescript on old narratives and negativity. I know we can do anything when we do it from a place of unity, love, hope, change, reform, and kindness. Empathy makes us human. Action makes us warriors.
