Tell us about yourself
As a self-proclaimed "people collector," it's in my DNA to connect all the wonderful humans I know and have met. It was with this desire in mind that Six Degrees Society was born-- an actual destination to connect people through commonality and to grow personally and professionally together. I'm motivated to make the world a smaller place and an easier place to connect with intention.

Making it all these years and having people tell me, "they've heard of Six Degrees Society." Also, being featured and recognized in publications like Forbes, Create & Cultivate, and Girl Boss.

Remembering that you're not going to be for everyone.
