What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Reignite Collective was born out of my professional expertise and a deeply personal journey. After a 24-year marriage, raising two incredible children, and navigating the life-altering reality of divorce, I rebuilt from the ground up, reclaiming financial independence, shedding nearly 100 pounds, and designing a life infused with self-care, purpose, and unapologetic power. That inspired me to build a business helping women to do the same.
About me
I grew up in rural Wisconsin and was the first in my family to hold a passport, which opened the door to a lifetime of discovery, leading me to study, travel, and work extensively throughout Latin America, where I became fluent in Spanish and developed a deep appreciation for cross-cultural connections.
With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and a Master’s in Counseling, I spent over two decades leading in international diplomacy and large-scale team management, partnering with global organizations such as the U.S. Department of State, ExxonMobil, and Baker Hughes. I bring a rare blend of strategic vision, cultural insight, and compassionate mentorship to help women reinvent their futures and achieve measurable results.
