nationwide.

Her second book, released in 2022, Claim the Stage: A Woman’s Guide to Speaking Up, Standing Out and Taking Leadership, hit #1 best-seller status on Amazon. She recently released her third book, Charismatic Presence: Five Principles for Magnetic Presentations, which also reached Amazon #1 best-seller status and has received the Literary Titan Gold Medal Book Award and the Firebird Book Award.
