Hi, I’m Mattie, and after a decade inside Capitol Hill, federal agencies, and the private sector, I help founders build credibility that compounds instead of fades.
The people and companies I used to work for had the best communication and media teams in the country. The people I met outside of that world had better stories and none of the support, mostly because they didn't even know they needed it.
Now I work as a fractional communications director for founders, so they become the person reporters call, with credibility that keeps working long after a post disappears.
I'm also a Pilates instructor, a homeschooling mom of two, and a firm believer that a well-built system is the most underrated form of self-care.
If your business is currently running on vibes, caffeine, and a prayer, hit the link below. I can help!

Keynote
SPEAKER
From government communications rooms to stages across the country, Mattie speaks on personal branding, earned media, and the mindset it takes to show up before you feel ready.
Her signature talk, Ask Anyway, is built around one question: what's the worst they can say? It's the talk for the founder who keeps waiting for the right moment, the woman who knows she belongs in the room but hasn't walked in yet, and anyone who has let the fear of a no keep them from asking.
