No boring presentations. Ever.

​I'm always engaging, educational and encouraging and resonate with all audiences regardless of size, experience level or background. I'm a teacher, so I'm intentional about incorporating visual, audible, tactile, and reading/writing learning styles and regularly use pop culture, sports and entertainment references to drive home the key principles and learning ideas in each talk. More than anything I want people to walk away with the confidence that they've grasped the concepts and can immediately apply and benefit from them. Whether virtual or in person, I'm comfortable working with a group of eight or presenting to a group of 800.  I'm easy to work with (no-diva attitudes here) and will work with you to create a learning and training experience that fits your budget and achieves your professional development goals.
