“A breath of fresh air and an inspiring time!”

My first official speaking gig threw me right into the fire — nearly 20 years ago, from the pitcher’s mound at Dodger Stadium. My knees were knockin’ and the silly “cue cards” I was holding almost shook right out of my sweaty palms. I was a scared first year teacher then, but I had a passionate mission…

a world where we can explore widely, think deeply,
and THRIVE despite our differences.

How that mission looks in the world will forever evolve, yet at its core, remains unchanged.
We can grow and thrive when we understand how to lean into, honor, and leverage our multarities!
