When I was a child, my family sent me to theatre camp in an effort to help me find my voice. Through my experience with theatre and my lifelong love of reading, I have not only found my voice but also cultivated the confidence to use it in service to others. To that end, I devote time each year to pro bono hours serving underrepresented youth and underfunded schools and organizations. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you represent one of these organizations and you fear cost is an obstacle.
During my undergraduate and graduate years, I focused my studies on language, literature, and film analysis. Indeed, these are the very topics I taught as a high school teacher and adjunct college professor. Let me share my knowledge with you!
Sample Speaking Topics:
