Speaking
I like to talk. I love a good story, even when I’m not telling it. I started with guest lectures to design students before becoming an educator myself. Today, I present on AI, career paths, and UX. I will occasionally host panel discussions or run workshops at industry conferences. Download my speaker resume here.
