Teaching experience

I have 20+ years of experience in branding, media, entrepreneurship, communications, and event production. As the creator of Brand Like a Celebrity®, I have led workshops, masterclasses, panels, and speaking engagements focused on branding, marketing, media readiness, entrepreneurship, and business visibility. I have also developed educational programming for entrepreneurs, beauty professionals, creatives, and small business owners through conferences, expos, business events, and community initiatives.

Interests & speaking style

I enjoy making real-world business and branding concepts practical, relatable, and immediately useful. My style is conversational, engaging, and interactive, using real-life experiences, case studies, and examples to help students connect what they are learning in the classroom to how it actually works in business, media, and entrepreneurship. I especially enjoy encouraging students to think bigger about their ideas, their personal brands, and the opportunities available to them.
