I’m a lifelong learner whose career has been shaped by curiosity, early adoption, and a willingness to take informed risks. My work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology, and culture—helping people understand what’s changing and how to adapt without losing their voice.
I began my career on the assembly line at General Motors in Flint, Michigan, where I rose through the ranks and completed a management training program before making a bold pivot—from spot welder to the first plus-size spokesmodel to sign with a major brand. That leap launched a decades-long career in media, fashion, and television, where I developed content, produced segments, styled commercials, worked in film, gave lectures and motivational speeches, and appeared on hundreds of national broadcasts.
As technology evolved, so did my work. I became an early participant in digital publishing, mobile content, and VC-backed startups—long before “click-to-buy” or creator-led platforms were industry standards. I’ve been quoted in major media outlets, became an author— born from an early blog-to-book deal moment, and taught or lectured at universities without a traditional degree.
Today, I bring that same pattern-recognition and translation skill to AI—helping creatives, educators, and professionals understand how to use emerging tools thoughtfully, ethically, and confidently. My work isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about staying relevant, curious, and human in every era of change.
