Throughout my career with lululemon, I worked my way up the leadership ladder, managing two stores in addition to managing local, regional & global community initiatives. I worked in all aspects of brand strategy & business management, driving powerful results through innovation & community relationships. Through refining my business development skills, I obtained a career highlight of being the only manager in my region to hit an annual stretch sales target not once, but two times, in less than five years.

After ten years working with lululemon, I came back from a 6-week sabbatical with a burning desire that I was made for more & to make a bigger impact, but wasn’t sure how. A couple of months later, I created & launched The Sweat Republic, a community networking group supporting local health & wellness professionals by bringing them together through monthly events to connect, collaborate, learn from one another, support each other & grow. Milestones included growing the membership to approximately 80 members & our 2nd annual International Women's Day Luncheon surpassed 200 women in attendance!

The year 2020 came & with it, the Covid pandemic … I watched many of my fitness friends lose businesses, jobs & income streams. As a result, I created my signature group coaching program The Digital Business Builder to support them in creating digital businesses, courses, programs & memberships so that they could create new revenue streams. As I worked with more clients on business strategy & social media visibility, my passion for business coaching increased, and in the beginning of 2021, I made the bittersweet decision to close the doors to The Sweat Republic Membership so that I could focus on & show up fully as “coach”.
