#WATCHME®
After 10+ years in the corporate world working in Management, Human Resources, and Communications, I took the leap to pursue my dreams of being an Entrepreneur. Since then, I’ve built and scaled 3 profitable businesses from the ground up, including photography, coaching, and virtual business services, and graduated business school with a Bachelors & Masters degree.
I guess you can say I’m OBSESSED with Business!
As a Certified Coach & Business Mentor, I’m passionate about coaching business owners to build their own version of success and scale a profitable business so they can flourish in Business AND Life.
I offer a blend of coaching, services, courses, and tools to create a business they love, an ease-full bespoke strategy, freedom-infused operations, and a #WATCHME® mindset that makes up my signature framework. My #WATCHME® brand encourages them to pave their own path and create their own version of success.
In addition, I hold certifications in Professional Life Coaching, Transformational Coaching, NLP, and CBT for Coaching, I’m the host of the #WATCHME® Podcast, and I’m as Multipassionate as they come, also spending my time as a professional photographer, professional singer, avid traveler, horse trainer, fur-mama, and wife.

When I first started college, I was working in retail management and exploring what I wanted to major in – to be honest, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I took courses in teaching, philosophy, psychology, criminal justice, music, and then landed in a leadership course when finally it hit me…
In business, you could actually create what you wanted to see in the world – business was all about intention and creativity to pursue a greater purpose.
From this moment, I fell in love with Business & Leadership, where I continued my education to receive my B.A. and Masters degrees.
After leaving Retail Management, I landed (what I thought was) my dream job. I felt like I had made it! I had landed the big-girl-job with salary, benefits, and office…
Only to quickly realize how unhappy & unfulfilled I was (and on top of that, how guilty I felt for feeling this way). What was wrong with me?
Until one day, I came across Marie Forleo’s video that talked about how she was offering coaching to start your own business doing what you loved.
I remember feeling this fire ignite within me saying, “THIS is what you’re meant to do.”
With this new drive and my passion and skill for photography, I started my first business, Underexposed® Photography.
Like a sponge, I spent the next few years devouring coaching, courses, trainings, and freebies to grow my business, and every part that went into it – pricing, branding, website, marketing, sales, LLCs, contracts, taxes, bookkeeping – you name it, I learned it.
I could hardly contain my excitement for combining my love for business and photography into my own business – getting to create what I wanted in the world.
It is fully possible to do work you love and make money doing it!
Which is exactly what led me to start my second business, coaching other passionate souls to start and grow a business doing what they loved.
In 2018, I left the corporate world for good (through a crazy story of intention and manifestation I share here on the #WATCHME® Podcast).
But it took me years to get here…
In my photography business, I only made $520 during my first 6-months.
In my coaching business, it took me nearly 4 years to finally get my business up and running – due to imposter syndrome & perfectionism.
There were countless times I laid on the couch frustrated to tears because I felt like what I was doing wasn’t working and secretly wondered if I was actually good enough to make this happen…
Then there were the handful of coaches who told me that I couldn’t be Multipassionate – that I had to choose ONE thing, niche down, and stay focused in order to be successful.
Over the years, I’ve dealt with it all – overwhelm, excitement, frustration, celebration, exhaustion, breakthroughs, burnout – been there, done that, got the damn t-shirt…
But I couldn’t keep trying the same things over & over, expecting a different result…
I had to go back to the basics – simplify and get crystal clear on my ideal client, message, and what sets me apart.
I had to stop doing what others were doing to be successful and design my own strategy to fit me and how I best worked – with so much permission to do it different.
I had to optimize how I operated my business to be simple, streamlined, and profitable, especially as a solo- and serial-business owner.
I had to define my own version of success and get out of my own way to pave my own path — not to mention do a shit-ton of healing work.
Create a business you love that anchors to a bigger why/purpose and passion that drives your business and uniqueness, and sets you up for success.
Design a strategy that fits you and how you best work to feel more ease + flow to create results.
Leverage the right systems, automations, and delegation, and optimize your operations to allow you more freedom and profit.
Define your own vision of success and be willing to pave your own path.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach to helping you build a business that aligns fully to YOU, while guiding you in both tangible business building as well as somatics + embodiment.
