With 25 years of distinguished leadership and mentoring experience in the US Navy, Courtney brings unparalleled expertise and passion to her brand Unapologetically Favored.

In addition to a storied career in the Navy, Courtney spent four years building a comprehensive coaching leadership program for the US Navy, empowering countless individuals to lead with confidence and authenticity.

Recognized in the 2023 Edition of Marquis Who's Who in America, and featured in Connected Women Magazine and Voyage Baltimore Magazine, Courtney is a beacon of inspiration and transformation. Her military experiences have made a mark on her life through personal and leadership struggles. She struggled to find her fit or purpose in life. She now pays forward the motivation, passion, self-love, and hope that she needed during her struggles with others because she knows that everyone has a story and their presence has a purpose.

Courtney was a former host of the Unapologetically Favored Podcast with Dr. Pat Baccili of Transformation Talk Radio and the Unapologetically Favored Radio Show on iHeart Radio, where she reached wide audiences, motivating listeners to see beyond their limiting beliefs and embrace their true potential and life purpose.

Much of my work as a motivational keynote speaker expands upon the ideas mentioned in my books, Unapologetically Favored and Wake Up. Turn Up. Bless Up., which are both self-reflective pieces that, beyond exploring her own personal development and journey to self-acceptance, seek to provide a kind of roadmap for those interested in doing the same. 

Without discounting the difficulty each person faces in their life, I offer my audience the option of success at their own pace because success is dependent on building oneself into what one wants to be and moreover choosing to achieve not by refusing to fail, but instead by refusing to let failure stop them. Turn your wounds into wisdom, your losses into lessons, and your pain into persistence!
