My journey in public speaking began at the age of 10, performing in community theater, and continued through drama club in high school. In college, I served as president of the debate team while honing my craft on stage in student productions. I went on to teach presentation skills to executives at the University of North Florida (UNF), and later revived and served as Chapter President of the National Speakers Association (NSA), North Florida Chapter.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve delivered keynotes and breakout sessions to more than 500 organizations and associations. Most recently, I led a think tank and a team of professional speakers at UKG, a leading HR software and workforce management company, where I regularly took the stage at the industry’s most prominent events to share research, frame the future of work, and challenge how leaders think about their people.
