Speaking

When I became the first American woman to row across a polar ocean, it was not just about records. It was about discovering who I was when everything felt impossible. I share stories from the Arctic that help audiences push past doubt, challenge limits, and step into their own extraordinary potential.​

Building a startup feels a lot like rowing across the Arctic. The stakes are high, resources are scarce, and there are no guarantees. I connect lessons of endurance, adaptability, and resilience to the challenges leaders face when building, scaling, and reinventing organizations.

Rowing 12 hours a day in freezing Arctic waters taught me that leadership is not about control. It is about trust, communication, and courage. I share practical strategies leaders can use to stay composed, inspire confidence, and guide teams through pressure and change.

From competing on the U.S. National Team as a mother to becoming the only American woman to row a polar ocean, I have lived the barriers women face. I speak candidly about imposter syndrome, balance, and ambition, and I challenge audiences to dismantle limits and lead boldly.
