SPEAKING, let's talk

Real stories. A point of view. Something to take home. I speak about entrepreneurship, brand and content leadership, the hard decisions behind a pivot, and what happens when someone who worked inside healthcare has to navigate it as a patient.

MY APPROACH, why I speak

I want the conversation to stay with people.

I don't believe a good talk ends with applause. I want people to leave thinking differently about a problem they face and knowing what they might do next. The stories are personal, but the lessons are meant to be useful.

I bring lived experience, practical insight and an honest conversation to the room.

SIGNATURE TOPICS, pick a room

When the healthcare insider becomes the patient

I found out about my brain tumor through MyChart while sitting at home alone. The communication that followed left me with more questions, and finding another specialist was harder than it should have been. This talk examines what patients need in vulnerable moments, how trust is built or lost, and what healthcare organizations can learn from the gap between access and experience.

What the room walks away with

Practical questions about communication, discoverability and the patient experience.

Building something, then choosing to change it

I left a healthcare career, found a new path through podcasting, and built businesses, a creative community and a production studio. Years later, I had to rethink what success was costing me. This is a conversation about knowing when a plan has run its course and making a change before someone else makes it for you.

What the room walks away with

A more useful way to evaluate growth, risk and the decisions behind a pivot.

From content to a brand people remember

A podcast, a video or a social post can get attention. A strong content strategy gives that attention somewhere to go. I share what it takes to develop a point of view, build repeatable content and turn a creative idea into a platform.

What the room walks away with

How positioning, formats and production systems work together.

The business behind the creative work

Creative work depends on people, process and decisions that rarely make the highlight reel. Drawing on years of building teams and production operations, I talk about the systems that support consistent work and the warning signs that everything still depends on the founder.

What the room walks away with

Practical ways to identify bottlenecks and build more resilient creative operations.
