I’ve had the privilege of delivering keynotes and workshops across industries, including tech, healthcare, retail, law, education, and more. I've also connected with audiences in spaces as diverse as Slack, Create & Cultivate, NAMI, Allstate, and Benefit Cosmetics. Whether I’m speaking to a room full of professionals or hosting a virtual session, my approach is rooted in the belief that healing and growth thrive at the intersection of culture and community.
Drawing on my work as the founder of I’m So Mature, I incorporate the healing potential of art, entertainment, and play into my presentations. Whether it’s exploring the role of cultural moments as therapeutic tools or offering practical strategies to replace burnout with balance, my talks challenge traditional approaches to mental health while fostering growth, connection, and emotional well-being. I’m all about helping people understand what they can control—how to manage stress, build resilience, and foster self-efficacy.
Organizations love working with me because I provide actionable takeaways and create experiences that leave audiences energized, reflective, and equipped to make meaningful changes in their personal and professional lives.
