She recently launched her own consulting business, Strategies that Spark, started building a local community of women 40+ entering their "second act," and enjoys serving as President of a Utah-based non-profit with over 10,000 members. She is also a sought-after keynote speaker, angel investor, and startup advisor. But her most important title? Still "Mom" to her two college-aged sons. She believes every woman deserves the confidence, skills, and support to create their own version of success!
