Hello! I’m a corporate trainer, LinkedIn coach, and social media strategist with over 10 years of experience in social media strategy and content management. I started before Snaps were chatted, Instagram had stories, and Tiks were toked, and her current specialties are Instagram and LinkedIn.
I help people level up on LinkedIn, gain clarity, and make more money. I also help organizations turn their employees into LinkedIn superstars who advocate for the company, amplify brand messaging, and attract the best talent.
About this FieldTrip
It’s time to GLOW UP! In this workshop, you’re going to learn how to optimize the top area of your LinkedIn profile: cover photo, profile photo, Headline, and About section.
According to LinkedIn, profiles with a great cover photo and profile photo get more views, but many people don’t leverage either. In addition, the Headline and About sections play a big part in whether or not your profile shows up in a search done by a recruiter, potential client, or someone looking to make connections.
After this workshop, you’ll walk away with that GLOW UP: -Insight on how to create a cover photo that speaks to your industry and personality -Creative ways to get a headshot (you need one!) -How to craft a Headline that helps your profile show up in search results -Tips on how to write an About section that gets viewsAre you ready? Let’s gooooo!

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.
Not vibing?
It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
