My goal as a public speaker is to inspire an audience, advocate for current ideas, and communicate as a leader. I choose my words carefully, such that they are both accurate in describing the purpose, function, and reasoning of the message, and also so the audience can fully appreciate the impact of what is being proposed. To date, I have presented, discussed, and taught topics of mental health in numerous workshops and events. Some of which are listed below.
