My Work
With a degree in the performing arts and a penchant for raising my hand, I am an experienced speaker for a variety of audiences. From C-level employees; to research groups; to patient advocates; I inspire, ideate, and share my experience with poise and passion.
I gathered it in my hands as it fell from my hairbrush, too saturated to hold anymore.
