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.
