I was not born into opportunity. I was born into uncertainty. My childhood taught me how to survive long before I understood what survival would cost. Homelessness, family wounds, impossible choices, teenage motherhood, and later, cancer could have become the defining chapters of my life. They did not.

At fourteen, one open door changed the direction of my life. But the door was only the beginning. The next thirty eight years were spent learning, working, leading, building, and earning my place in every room beyond it.

I began as a teenage mom in an at-risk youth program at the age of 16 and built a career that moved from entry-level finance to executive leadership, entrepreneurship, and award-winning television. As the former President and Executive Producer of Opportunity Knocks, I helped lead one of the most impactful and innovative reality television series in public media. I brought lived experience and decades of financial, operational, and executive leadership, helping strengthen the business, expand national distribution and partnerships, and connect stories to practical tools, trusted resources, and real opportunities. The series earned more than 40 national and global honors across three seasons, with its third season airing nationally in June 2026.

Along the way, I learned that opportunity matters, but what we do with opportunity matters even more.

Today, I am building Lets Do Good to create the kinds of stories, partnerships, and rooms that help other people see what is possible for their lives, their organizations, and their communities.
