Speaking
As a trained journalist, I enjoy the process of reading in, asking powerful questions, and engaging with panelists and audiences alike. I have led conversations and workshops on the subjects of:
Career Exploration and Development
Social Media Marketing and Content Creation
Journalism as a Profession
Photography
Leadership
Policy
for university, grades 6-12, professional, and corporate audiences. I am open to panel moderation, speaking and hosting opportunities!
