Engaging, inspiring, and thought-provoking, my keynotes draw from a lifetime of breaking barriers and redefining what's possible. As a trailblazer and advocate with a lived experience of disability, I provide audiences with a unique perspective on fostering inclusion, challenging biases, and embracing diversity.
In my keynote speeches, I share personal stories of triumph and perseverance—from being the first wheelchair athlete in Connecticut's Little League Baseball and high school tennis to serving in leadership roles that shape policies for equity and accessibility. With honesty and authenticity, I explore the intersections of identity, belonging, and opportunity, offering actionable insights for building truly inclusive environments.
Whether you're looking to energize your team or deepen their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, my keynotes are designed to motivate action and leave a lasting impact.
Transforming workplaces and communities begins with dialogue. My Community Conversations create safe, open spaces for honest discussions about disability, inclusion, and equity. Using my lived experiences as a foundation, I facilitate these sessions to foster understanding, spark empathy, and empower individuals to become champions for change.
These interactive discussions are tailored to your organization’s needs, whether it’s addressing unconscious biases, exploring the social model of disability, or understanding how accessibility benefits everyone. By sharing real-world examples and encouraging participants to reflect on their own roles in promoting equity, I guide audiences toward practical, inclusive solutions.
My Community Conversations help bridge gaps in understanding and build connections that drive meaningful progress.
