I help communities talk about the things that actually save lives.

Most organizations don’t need another inspirational talk.

They need spaces where people can tell the truth, build connections, and reduce harm before a crisis hits.

 

My speaking work is rooted in my leadership with RISE TOGETHER — a peer-led prevention organization that supports youth, families, and educators through storytelling, connection, and research-backed practices.

 

Through RISE and my personal work as a speaker and author, I create conversations that help people:

• name what they’re carrying

• reconnect with their voice and self-worth

• strengthen connection and resilience in real, human ways
   

This isn’t about fixing people.

It’s about helping them feel less alone and more willing to reach for support.

 

How I Show Up

• Keynotes & Workshops

  Healing-centered conversations that spark reflection, reduce stigma, and invite honest dialogue — without shame or performance.

• Prevention, Leadership & Culture

  Drawing from my role as Executive Director of RISE Together, I support schools, organizations, and communities navigating burnout, responsibility, and care.

• Deeper Experiences

  Including retreats, small-group intensives, and my book Enough Already, for audiences ready to go beyond the surface.
