Let’s talk!

After years of attending conferences, watching and taking notes, I knew this was where I wanted to be and how I wanted to help! As a speaker my goal is to make sure everyone leaves informed, happy and with knowledge of things they did not know before.

Book me for your next event as a keynote speaker, guest lecturer, workshop presenter, moderator, or panelist to share my insights and experience. I am also available for a variety of bookings from TV interviews to DJ sets, and if I don’t think Im the best person for your event and I will suggest others that will help you deliver the best possible event.

Scroll down for an overview of where I’ve spoken before and how we could work together.
