Because I know what it’s like to be underestimated.

After working as a high school teacher for six years, I left the classroom to pursue public relations. As I began working for a national company, I was astounded to find that I was often the only brown face in the room, and we were representing clients who did not reflect the world outside our doors. 

I was toying with the idea of starting my own agency, but was never ready to jump-- until my entire department was terminated… while I was on maternity leave. It lit a fire within me, and I started TELL Public Relations to serve other women who are underrepresented and underestimated.

Fast-forward four years, and we’ve built a portfolio that I couldn’t have imagined: we’ve worked with YouTube stars, film directors, executive coaches, nationally recognized psychologists, bookstore owners, chefs and finance experts.

Then I decided to become a friendship coach. And the business kind of blew up [check it out here].

How? I created a business that serves a real need, and used my skills as an educator to create compelling content. Then I used my skills as a PR person to increase my visibility.

My business has been featured on Oprah, I’ve secured a six-figure book deal, I’m producing a successful podcast, my rate for keynote presentations is five-figures, I’ve written for leading publications, and I’ve been featured on national news and top-ranking podcasts.

Now I’ve built a team to help me teach those who are underrepresented and underestimated how to be their own publicists, too.

Because the world needs to hear what we have to say.
