A versatile communicator and storyteller, I have delivered three TEDx talks and coached professional presenters. With experience as a voice over artist across diverse industries, I bring narratives to life. I have also been featured on podcasts, typically discussing education, leadership, and marketing. Leveraging my ability to captivate and resonate with audiences, I have also acted in student films and auditioned for several television commercials.
- TEDxRaleigh: “Inspiring Innovation Mindsets in Underrepresented Adolescents” shares the story of the Each One Teach One Entrepreneurship Institute at Coastal Carolina University. This organization inspires innovation mindsets in underrepresented adolescents through entrepreneurship education. I recommend we rewrite the roadmap of these young adults’ lives by developing their entrepreneurial acumen, financial literacy, leadership abilities, life skills, and technological expertise.
- TEDxRITDubai: “Moving Forward from Failure” responds to the bigger question “how might we move forward from failure?” Sharing the story of one woman’s determined innovation in the face of formidable failure, I present a personal perspective about how we can purposefully pivot and progress over any obstacle.
- TEDxUCSB: “Stepping into the Shoes of a Champion” outlines the impact of A Champions Shoes, a nonprofit organization working to donate 1,000,000 pairs of shoes across the United States by the end of 2026. Inviting the audience to make a difference, the core concept I communicated is that we can all be champions, not for personal profit, but for the richness of rewarding others.
