Earlier this month, I had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker at the Pfizer Women’s Mentoring Program in New York City.

The event brought together women across the organization who are committed to supporting one another’s career growth, building confidence, and creating a culture of mentorship from the inside out.

It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful program. Grateful for the opportunity! 🙌🏾

Our veterans showed up for us. Now it's our turn to show up for them. 🇺🇸

I am proud to partner with Paralyzed Veterans of America to fight for veterans living with disabilities and I need you in this with me. One signature. A few seconds of your time. That is all it takes to make your voice heard before Congress.

Are You An Aspiring Speaker?

Are you radically optimistic about your dreams?

Radical optimism isn’t just positive thinking, it’s believing SO deeply in yourself that you refuse to accept the limitations.

The probability doesn’t matter. The limitations don’t matter. What matters is the SIZE of your belief.

Thank you Indiana University for the opportunity to be your keynote speaker at the 2026 Women & Technology Summit ! I had an amazing time!

Beyond speaking at global conferences, I truly value the opportunity to host and MC impactful events that inspire engagement and learning. Last December, I had the honor of hosting the Credit Union Executive Society Directors Conference!

It was an incredible experience connecting with leaders across the credit union industry and witnessing firsthand their dedication to their members and the financial impact of their work!

Beyond honored to speak at the Women & Technology Summit at next month, hosted by the Indiana University Center of Excellence for Women & Technology, alongside the incredible Claudia Ramly.

Earning my Master’s in Computer Information Systems changed the trajectory of my life and more importantly, it showed me the undeniable power of seeing women thrive in STEM. When women step into tech, we don’t just participate we transform spaces through innovation, creativity, and leadership.

Creating rooms where empowered women can clearly see what’s possible for their careers and upward mobility in tech is my passion and our superpower!

Counting down the days!

Two weeks ago, I wrapped up my final in-person speech of 2025 in Portland, Maine as the closing keynote for the American Business Womens Association leadership conference.

I delivered my talk “100 No’s Before a Single Yes,” and this audience embraced every moment with unmatched energy. Hands down one of the most electric crowds of the entire year!

A huge thank you to Elizabeth Johnson and Shoshana Gross for the invitation and for creating such an incredible space for women in business. I’m beyond grateful!

I currently serve on the Board of Directors at Seed St. Louis, and it has been an incredible experience witnessing the impact this organization has across our community. If you’re able, I invite you to contribute what you can to support this mission—because every gift, no matter the size, helps cultivate change.

At Seed St. Louis, we believe food is more than nourishment — it’s well-being, community, and resilience. Across our region, families are turning vacant lots into gardens that feed their neighborhoods. Teachers are transforming classrooms into hands-on learning spaces. Children are discovering what it means to plant a seed and watch it grow into dinner.

Your donation helps make that possible — and right now, every dollar is doubled thanks to the Berges Family Foundation. Together, we can ensure families have access to fresh, local food right where they live.

Give now and watch your impact grow.
