I'm a very passionate person... about my faith, my family, and my work. And I'm one of those lucky people who have been able to blend my personal and professional life, so one benefits the other. As a believer and truth seeker, I strive to be a bright, optimistic light in this world…loving, encouraging, and supporting others.
Personally, I'm a small-town girl, originally from northeast Ohio. That's where I met my husband. I'm sure we passed each other in the hallways during high school, but it wasn't until we were living a thousand miles away from each other that we actually started dating. Shortly after, we had an awesome wedding and celebration with our closest family and friends. We now have two amazing boys and identical twin girls with totally different personalities, plus our Goldendoodle, Sadie. We live in San Diego, California... one of the most beautiful places in the country.
Professionally, I'm dedicated and driven. My career has always been important to me. After graduating with a degree in Broadcast Journalism, I became a news anchor and reporter and started working my way up the television markets. But then some guys created YouTube and my whole world changed. I instantly realized the potential and started creating content exclusively for the internet. After launching several successful online shows, I decided to focus my attention on shows for new parents. I created New Mommy Media, an online production company that produces multiple podcasts, videos, and blogs for expecting and new moms. And I launched my first podcast network, Parents On Demand, for parents and families.
My work with parenting podcasts morphed into my company Independent Podcast Network, where I mentor and motivate shows from all types of podcasting genres. I coach aspiring podcasters all over the world through my interactive webinars and online courses. When I'm not podcasting, I'm a professional voice-over artist. You've probably heard my voice in various commercials, audiobooks, video games, and online videos.
However, my most important work to date is something God has been spiritually preparing me for…. for years. I am a messenger for United Network News. I anchor and report the real news- things that mainstream media would never discuss because it doesn't fit their agenda. My intention is to motivate and inspire humanity to believe in themselves and work together to become the change they want to see in the world.
My personal and professional life are pretty much the same- which requires some major multi-tasking skills. It's normal for me to be doing homework with my kids while recording in my home studio, or scheduling video shoots around my kid’s after-school activities. I have an absolutely crazy life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I am blessed.
