    I make a point to distill complicated info into easy-to-understand steps for architects. Your audience will leave with practical knowledge to hit the ground running and implement real change.

  • Always Here to Help

    I’ll be accessible before the event for videos, podcasts, interviews etc to help with promotion; and after the event, keeping the conversations going with your audience via email and social media.

    There is no one size fits all. I work with every event organizer before the event to understand who your audience is and the challenges that they face so I can tailor my workshops directly to your audience.

“Our attendees commented on how much they learned from and enjoyed your presentation.”

On behalf of the AIANY Women in Architecture Committee, thank you for presenting "Building an Unforgettable Personal Brand." We were inspired by the phased approach you presented to craft and execute a personal brand. I love the success stories that you shared.

Architects often forget about the power of storytelling when it comes to their own professional reputation. Although the workshop ended up in a 'webinar' format, it still felt interactive.

Our attendees commented on how much they learned from and enjoyed your presentation. The workshop spoke to participants at all levels from young architects to principals. We also saw some new names tonight, so thank you for helping expand our audience.

Find the Perfect Topic for Your Next Event

I’ve been speaking professionally in the AEC industry on topics about personal branding and self development at various AIA and CSI local chapters and architecture conferences.

Pick a topic below that works with your event or we can work together to create a new workshop.

Topic 01

Building an Unforgettable Personal Brand

Strategically building your brand will position you as an authority in your industry and a person of influence. An unforgettable personal brand will let you make your own opportunities and ultimately result in more career advancement. This workshop is designed to help architects and designers like you who want to build a brand under your personal name.

We’ll show you how to treat your personal brand like an architecture project with simple actionable steps so you can effectively communicate your worth and make a meaningful impact in your industry.

CSI LinkedIn

Topic 02

Get Noticed on LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the best platform for architects to grow their professional brand and attract leads organically. In recent years, LinkedIn is no longer just a resume. It has become the search engine for recruiters to find quality candidates, a social media platform to share your thought leadership, a generator for client leads, and the gateway to your personal brand online.

This workshop will focus on optimizing your LinkedIn profile so you can get found on LinkedIn. It’s ideal for those who want to build their personal brand and grow their network on the biggest professional platform.

What Attendees Say:

“I have already gotten positive feedback and had a few potential clients come through the website.”

I enjoyed how interactive the presentation was and I felt like I was sitting down with a friend instead of someone lecturing me.

She has genuine, warm, and positive energy. She didn't just talk about how to create a brand, but she brought us through the steps of formulating one and gave us all the worksheets and tools that we would need to actually have a preliminary foundation laid by the end of the hour.

Before the workshop, I felt like branding, marketing, and social media were foreign concepts to me, and through her presentation, I was able to take the easy steps she suggested, create a more clearly defined brand, and now I feel like content creation is second nature.

Through applying the skills she taught to my business website and social media platforms and I have already gotten positive feedback about the social media content I have been producing and actually had a few potential clients come through the website.

I highly recommend her as a speaker sharing her branding and content creation expertise!
