& Media
Advantage
Engaging Diverse Audiences
Over four decades of public speaking, I have engaged audiences ranging from the direct and personal connection of classrooms, boardrooms, and corporate retreats, to the diverse audiences of gala dinners, corporate luncheons, conference keynotes, and international media.
My clients tell me that they appreciate my ability to engage, educate, and entertain audiences, and my passion for inspiring others.
The consistent theme that runs through audience feedback and evaluations is the engaging way I share information; drawing insight from my personal and professional experiences, while making relatable connections to their needs, experiences, and daily life.
I am regularly invited to provide conference keynotes for professionals and organizations in a variety of sectors, including education, mental health, social work, healthcare and medicine, project management, technology, innovation, and entertainment.
I am sought as a content expert in mental health, neurodivergence, healthcare, political and legislative leadership, government relations, executive, and professional development.
I present and publish at international academic conferences in the areas of mental health, neurodivergence, psychology, global health policy, and Korean studies. I am also a member of the Int’l Day of Pink Speaker’s Bureau where I speak on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, including policy, legislation, mental health, and healthcare services.
Media
I regularly contribute to media outlets across a variety of platforms to diverse national and global audiences.
I am regularly sought out by Canadian and international media outlets as a content expert for interviews and panels. They seek my insight, analysis, and expertise on public policy, healthcare policy – especially in the areas of mental health, neurodivergence, acquired dependencies, housing insecurity, and the ongoing impact of the pandemic on mental health, well-being, and healthcare system challenges.
Similarly, I contribute op-ed pieces on these subjects, as they are reflected in current affairs, public policy, healthcare and social service provision. I have also returned to academic conference presentations and publications in the areas of mental health, neurodivergence, psychology, global health policy, and Korean studies.
Communications Advantage
I bring an extensive and enriched content background to my clients, delivered in a manner that engages and inspires their audiences.
My media experience provides news outlets with reliable, effective, and authoritative content.
Let me share my communications advantage with you to help inspire, educate and engage your audience.
