Check out the new course and group program called Crush it On Camera
I have been on TV for the past 20 years, first as a news anchor and reporter around the coutnry for many years, and more recently as a host and lifestyle expert since starting my own business almost 5 years ago. I regularly partner with brands like Amazon, Target, Cuisinart, General Mills, OLAY, Burlington, Wyndham Hotels and more as a brand spokesperson. I bring their brand messaging to life in national and regional TV segments ranging from home shopping to holiday gift guides to mom tips to recipes and more. It all comes down to my love of storytelling and using those skills to make my segments and campaigns successful, dynamic and fun to watch for both the brand and viewer/consumer. My work is fun, fast-paced, fulfilling and continually challenges my creativity, which is my favorite part of what I do! I also use my extensive media background as a media coach, working 1:1 with clients to develop media strategy, target messaging and personal branding, and prepare them for interviews and on-camera opportunities. I grew up in Monmouth County by the beach, in Wall Township.I live in Scotch Plains with my husband and our 3 kids who are 8, 6 and 4.
I recently combined my expansive media skillset and love of coaching with my new digital course + group program, Crush it On Camera. I created this program specifically for the small business owner who knows they need to be showing up on camera and using video to grow their business through social media, but doesn't know how. Maybe they're camera shy, maybe they've tried to do videos on their own but they just feel awkward, or maybe they're just not sure what they should be sharing on video to reach their ideal clients. The curriculum is the culmination of my career experience as an interviewer, interviewee, brand spokesperson and now as someone who has developed a successful personal brand through social media to continually grow my business opportunities. My program is a unique 3-part program that includes a self-paced digital course, 8 weeks of live group coaching calls and daily access to a private community with other like-minded business owners who are also investing in themselves to grow their businesses. My program gives my students the mindset and technical tools to make getting on camera more comfortable and easier, along with 1:1 support from me to troubleshoot roadblocks, review their material and give them a strategy to make video a consistent part of their strategy.
I heard about the Co-Co years ago from my dear friend Andrea Mullan, who convinced me to join during the pandemic, when I was a new business owner and desperately needing connection. The Co-Co has given me a rich network of incredible women who I admire deeply and who inspire me with their knowledge, expertise, drive and energy. I have learned so much through my membership with The Co-Co and I'm so grateful to have this great resourceful community at my fingertips.
