She also contributed to the Becoming an Unstoppable Woman anthology series—a six-book collaboration with industry experts sharing powerful tools, stories, and mindset shifts to help women break through barriers and lead boldly.

​

She’s also the co-creator of WTF! Walk The Floors, a top-ranked podcast and leadership movement encouraging managers to get out from behind the desk and back into the heartbeat of service. Through candid insights and hands-on programs, she helps companies turn culture into competitive advantage.

​
