Looking for a speaker who brings truth, strategy, and soul to the stage?

I’m ready when you are.

Redesigning work, tech, and leadership to honor lived experience, human limits, and beautiful possibility.

I’m here to build a moment that moves people and systems forward.

Whether speaking to tech leaders, nonprofit changemakers, or healthcare innovators, I don't aim to inspire. Rather, I want to shift perspectives, spark action, and help your audiences imagine new ways of working, designing, and leading.

Signature Talks

Building Human-Centered Tech with Lived Experience

How can lived experience become the blueprint for ethical tech?

A TED-style talk exploring the future of tech through the lens of disability and mental health justice.

Thriving Beyond Hustle: Reimagining Work with Chronic Realities

Real stories, real systems change.

I share my journey with bipolar disorder and anorexia while building a mission-driven business, and show how we all benefit from designing for human limits.

From Lived Experience to Leadership

Tokenism isn’t inclusion.

A strategic, heartfelt call to elevate lived experience as expert insight, not exception.

Expertise & Talking Points

I speak to issues that cut across sectors and resonate deeply across audiences:
