Presentations & School Visits
One of my favorite things is crafting tailored presentations that captivate and inspire each unique audience. I use a storytelling approach, complete with cartoons, life lessons, and practical takeaways to spark creativity and fresh ideas. With over a decade of experience in public education and years leading ministries and teaching in diverse settings, I’ve honed my ability to connect with both children and adults. Whether speaking in person or online, my goal is always the same: to engage, encourage, and empower audiences to think creatively and embrace their potential.

Not only does she teach about the process of creating a book, she hones in on having grit, determination, and perseverance. I would highly recommend her and our team can't wait to have her back!"
