I pride myself on being engaging and entertaining, even in the midst of discussing difficult topics. I won't go for the cheap laugh at anyone's expense, but I do believe that it's okay to crack a smile even when talking about very serious topics.
I am an in-depth storyteller, and that forms the core of who I am as a speaker. I believe it's only in story that we will find our way out of the struggles we've encountered, for it's story that inspires us to change and try something new.
If you are looking for someone to talk in an engaging way about mental health, with or without a focus on faith in the process, I will meet and exceed your expectations. My story is worth hearing, and I make it worth listening to as well.
