Bring a New Perspective
CONVERSATIONS THAT OPEN NEW POSSIBILITIES
I bring more than two decades of global development experience and a storyteller's curiosity to conference stages, classrooms and facilitated conversations.
My approach to speaking is warm, rigorous and participatory. Whether I am moderating a discussion or guiding a workshop, I connect practical examples with the questions people are grappling with right now.
