I’ve spent my entire life seeking the overlap—between people, ideas, and opportunities.

Some call it networking, but I think it’s so much more than that. It’s about Community, Connection, and Collaboration (my signature 3C’s). It’s about bringing people together to create something bigger than themselves.

Growing up, I was the kid who joined every club, led every group, and made friends wherever I went. I’ve always believed in the power of relationships—not just for socializing, but for solving problems, sparking ideas, and making things happen. What I didn’t realize at the time was that this knack for connecting people wasn’t just a personality trait—it was a superpower.

From Overachiever to Overlap-Seeker

Like many ambitious professionals, I started my career thinking that success = hustle. I worked hard, said yes to everything, and tried to do it all on my own. I climbed the ladder in corporate roles, got my MBA in Entrepreneurship and Management, and built a career in events, business development, partnerships, and community strategy.

But along the way, I learned something that changed everything: You don’t get ahead alone.

The biggest breakthroughs in my career didn’t happen because I worked harder—they happened because I built relationships, collaborated with the right people, and leveraged the power of community.

Once I embraced that truth, everything started to click.

The Work I Do Today

Now, as a Connection Strategist, Keynote Speaker, and Founder of Overlap Collective, I teach others how to stop grinding in isolation and start building, nurturing, and leveraging relationships to achieve their biggest goals. Through workshops, consulting, and my podcast “Seeking the Overlap,” I help individuals and teams:

⚡️ Curate their community—so they’re surrounded by the right people who elevate and support them.

⚡️ Cultivate meaningful connections—so they build relationships that are reciprocal and rewarding.

⚡️ Catalyze collaboration—so they can create new opportunities, expand their influence, and thrive.

Where You May Have Seen Me

I’ve spoken at over 150 events, been a guest on 55+ podcasts, and contributed to media outlets like Forbes, Create & Cultivate, and HuffPost. I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners, executives, and creative professionals, teaching them how to harness the power of connection to increase visibility, attract aligned opportunities, and amplify their impact.

I’m also a recipient of the Empowerment Leader Award, a past President of the Santa Monica Junior Chamber of Commerce, and an absolute extracurricular enthusiast. If there’s an opportunity to bring people together, you can bet I’ll be there.

What I Believe

🌟 Success shouldn’t be a solo journey. Having the right people around you is everything.

🤝 Relationships are the best investment. When you show up for others, they show up for you.

🔥 Collaboration beats competition. There’s more than enough room for everyone to win.

Let’s Connect!

If you’re ready to stop doing it all alone and start leveraging the power of Community, Connection, and Collaboration, let’s make some magic together.
