Public Speaking

I love sharing knowledge. Whether that’s through mentorship, teaching, networking, cups of coffee, pints of beer, or random Twitter threads. I’ve been lucky to speak at dozens of events, panels, conferences, and podcasts both big and small.

I am currently open to speak or moderate at virtual or in-person events, podcasts, and meetups. Just reach out!
