After nearly two decades as an award winning PR pro behind the Washington Commanders, NFL League Office, Major League Soccer, and Tough Mudder — in boardrooms, on sidelines, and backstage at the world's biggest stages — I learned the plays that actually move the needle. Now I'm handing you the playbook I wish I'd had — so you can go further, faster.
Super Bowls. NFL Drafts. World Cup press tours. The Apple deal. Messi's arrival. White House initiatives. Stadium groundbreakings. Press conferences and events with owners, commissioners, athletes, celebrities, and blue-chip brands — at the highest levels of the game.
I wasn't watching from the stands. I was in the boardrooms making the call, on the sideline managing the moment, backstage with the celebrities, athletes, executives and owners before the cameras started rolling.
That's where I learned what actually moves the needle — and what the corporate rulebook will never teach you. Now this PR pro turned performance coach has one obsession: helping the next generation of leaders create their own playbook, break through glass ceilings, and become unstoppable.

Hype Woman. Boy Mama x2 — Taylor and Tommy. NICU Mama. Eternal Optimist. Espresso Enthusiast — the 1 pm cappuccino is non-negotiable. Lover of Dawgs, football, futbol, and Southern charm. Professional photobomber — comes with the PR territory. I believe in dark chocolate on the desk, doors that close for real conversations, and handing people the playbook nobody gave me.
Landed my first full-time job in sports in PR for the Washington Commanders — after nine unpaid internships. The grind was real. Working with a No. 2 Overall Draft Pick was real too.
Joined the National Football League league office. Three Super Bowls - XLVIII, XLIX, and 50. NFL Drafts - NYC to Chicago. The biggest stages.
Head of Communications at Tough Mudder. Developed broadcast campaigns, talent promotion, and spearheaded a founder's book launch. Got very muddy. Worth it.
Joined Major League Soccer. Six years. Worked my way to VP of Corporate Communications. The fastest growing sport in North America. World Cup press tours. White House initiatives. The Apple deal. Messi's arrival.
Tommy arrived 2.5 months early. Six and a half weeks in the NICU. Swapped stadium lights for playroom lights — and built Team Breakthrough on the playroom floor. Made ambition and motherhood teammates.
From Stuck to Unstoppable launches. Team Breakthrough is live. The playbook is officially in your hands. Let's go.
