Expertise and Alignments
For Writers and Authors
I am deeply passionate about the art of storytelling, and I consider the chance to speak to fellow storytellers an honor. While I tailor each speech to the unique needs of the folks I’m serving, I generally speak on a combination of practical tools to empower and inspire writers and authors to complete their goals and the matters of the heart and soul specific to the work with a blend of humor and warmth. I’m proud and humbled to say I have received universally positive feedback on what’s offered in this speech.
For Women*
It is my great joy to be a champion for and advocate of women* living whatever life sets them free. I tailor speaking to exactly what listeners have come to receive and learn about - from body positivity/neutrality, self-trust, big dreams, big hopes, and big fears to the courage it takes to embrace change. I am largely flexible in these topics, and would love to strategize alongside organizers to meet the needs of their attendees.
*Women and all folks along the gender spectrum who stray from traditional and toxic masculinity - I strive to make my work gender inclusive.
For Young People
With a long history of volunteering and professionally working in helping positions for teens and young adults, I am a fierce believer in the young people. I am available to speak on a number of topics relevant to that phase of life - as specific as goal setting and education or as grand as setting themselves free of the need to earn approval from peers and place their trust in themselves. It is my hope to be the right person delivering the right message and the right time for as many young people who might need an advocate, an oracle, or a soft place to land as I can. Please contact me to chat about specific topics and needs!
For Business
As the daughter of a small business owner, and both a full time content creator for my own channels and author myself, I know what it takes to build something from the ground up and help it thrive. I believe in blending heart and drive to make the world a better place. While there are countless speakers who will blaze on to stage and shout about hunger, profit, and relentless growth, I speak about purpose, roots, passion, and impact with intention. Please inquire if I might add value to your work.
