Speaking
I’m an energetic, passionate, and empowering national speaker with relatable warmth, a unique perspective, and a sense of humor. In addition to a TEDx talk, I’ve spoken at New York Comic Con, Podcast Movement, YouTube headquarters, DC Podfest, and the Austin Film Festival, as well as many local and national leadership seminars, business and tech conferences, and college classrooms.
