Since the age of eight when I convinced Paul Simon, through sheer charisma, to cast me in his Broadway show (I had a terrible audition, trust me), I’ve believed in the power of self-advocacy as the key to opportunity. 

While I know that it may not come naturally to everyone, I’m convinced anyone can learn it. And they have! I’ve taught at world-class companies like NASA and Harvard Business School, published a best-selling book with Simon & Schuster, and appeared as a guest expert on Good Morning America and for the New York Times, among others. 

I have my Master’s Certificate in Financial Psychology & Behavioral Finance and was the host of John Hancock’s inaugural podcast, Friends Who Talk About Money. 

I bootstrapped a seven-figure business with a 100k-member global community, produced six conferences for 1,000 attendees, and collaborated with brands such as Nike, Secret, and Indeed. 

Prior to doing this work, I was the second employee at a recruitment startup - later sold to Fiverr - and produced a short film in Bosnia that got nominated for a Student Academy Award.

A few fun facts: I’m neurodivergent (I was diagnosed with bipolar type II), a proud lesbian (I married my co-founder!), and was sued by a group of men’s rights activists (and then crowdfunded $116k+ and got a book deal out of it.) 

I pride myself on leveraging “setbacks” for growth, or as I say, making money out of lemons 🍋

In short: I’m an expert in taking big swings and navigating change, plus negotiating for my worth in all areas of my life. Everyone deserves to love what they do - and the paycheck that comes with it - and I’m here to show you how.
