Welcome to Press Play!

Thank you for checking out my site! I am so excited to share this with you all- it has been months in the making and has taken a village, but here we are! I have long wanted to create a space to showcase the people, stories and things that have enhanced my life. I hope you all can take something away from your visits.

For sometime, I have been fairly active on social media and have become increasingly disheartened by the negativity and argumentative nature that these platforms can take on. I have been so fortunate throughout my career to connect with thousands of wonderful and inspiring people within and outside my field and it is my goal to bring some of their stories and pearls of wisdom to you. We have so much we can learn from one another- why waste it? 

“Nobody makes it alone. Nobody has made it alone.”
— Oprah Winfrey

I want to talk about things that will collectively make us better- successes, failures, team work, goal setting, personal growth, mentorship and life lessons. I will be showcasing some of the amazing people who have influenced me, taught me lessons and set an example for me along my personal and professional journey. I don’t know it all, but I like to think i’m pretty good at finding the people who do!

Don’t get me wrong- I don’t know the first thing about website design, photography or blogging but, luckily I know a few people who do! I have been overwhelmed by the support of my team and consider myself fortunate to have been able to connect with such a great group of women in this process. Check out my A-Team!

— Zig Ziglar

There have also been more than a few people who have inspired me to do this. This crew of people have knowingly or unknowingly pushed me and have given me the confidence to to put myself out there. When you surround yourself with amazing people, truly great things happen.
