As a wardrobe stylist, I work with professionals, executives, and teams to align their personal and professional image with their goals. Whether styling high-powered CEOs, leading corporate workshops, or helping individuals build wardrobes that reflect their best selves, my focus is on making style accessible, empowering, and impactful.

My mission is simple: to empower others to be intentional in how they present themselves and own the way they show up—because when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, you show up powerfully.
