We share anecdotes and advice based on where we come from and where we’re going…and sometimes even what we’re going through. It’s part personal, part professional, and fully values-aligned.
Listen in if you want to run and grow a business that feels and does good.

I equip conscious and caring business owners to grow their impact and their revenue in alignment with their values.
Before doing brand messaging strategy and marketing consulting, I worked with a variety of nonprofit organizations, including a human rights education NGO in Senegal and a local Habitat for Humanity.
My portfolio ranges from small businesses and community organizations to ethical fashion, tech for impact, finance, government, and beyond. The common thread has been sharing messages that matter.
I’m based in Central Illinois, with a background in anthropology and a penchant for travel. I bring a fresh perspective to conversations because I focus on business for good and spent years living and working abroad, building up my empathy and broadening my point of view.
I believe that business can feel AND do good when it’s rooted in values and propelled by purpose. If you do too, let’s chat.
