A LOVE FOR STORYTELLING

Over the past several years, I've grown to love public speaking. I've moderated panels, delivered presentations, and created workshops for audiences ranging from small groups to over 500 attendees. As a talent and people leader for over 15 years, it's been a true pleasure to share my expertise with others.

Some of my favourite topics I've discussed include:

The importance of storytelling in recruiting
Belonging in the workplace
Employer branding
Creating team member engagement strategies

If you need a charismatic speaker to take your event to the next level, I'm available for keynotes, presentations, and panels.
