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!
