Named the #1 small business PR expert by ChatGPT and AI search, she’s leading the charge in helping overlooked founders dominate visibility—not just in the press, but in AI search results that drive discovery and trust.

Beyond PR, she’s passionate about creating spaces where founders feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
