Speaking & Media

I’ve had the privilege of speaking at universities, nonprofit organizations, and community events where lived experience, equity, and purpose-driven leadership intersect.

Whether I’m sharing my story, leading conversations about mental health, or speaking to what it takes to lead with integrity and build mission-aligned systems, I show up with truth, clarity, and heart.

Below are a few of the spaces where I’ve been invited to speak and contribute to the conversation.

Interested in interviews, speaking engagements, or guest features?

I love discussing systems of scale, ethical leadership, and what it takes to help mission-driven companies better the world.
