“Whenever we speak, I take notes.”

As your featured panelist or moderator, my goal is to inspire and challenge the audience with new ways of thinking. As your workshop facilitator, I lean into your solution sessions, design-thinking workshops, and crucial conversations with the authentic and intentional energy to unlocks insight from within your group to meaningful actions that get the outcomes you seek.

How I began: My career started in communications as a teen journalist, representing the executive board of the National Youth Summit for HIV Prevention & Education by testifying before the Center for Disease Control about the impact of HIV/AIDS on teens. That opened the door for television interviews and written articles.

I realized that when I speak, people listen and learn.

No matter how difficult the discussion, clarity is the pursuit to ensure we all leave with more than we brought in, and actionable steps we can take.
