...and what I can speak about
Talks can be done virtually or in person

Networking
I love to teach college students and adults about the fanciest, easiest, most comfortable way to connect with people.
Bullying
Been there, done that. I have shared my stories of how being teased lead me to fighting for the life I have now.
Happiness
How I chose to find happy and how I have to train myself to believe it every day. Here is an Instagram video I made about it.
Q&A on LD
My learning disability was not only embarrassing but debilitating growing up. This talk is how I figured out how to deal.
Social Media
I help an audience harness the collective insights of the community they are with. We share tips and tricks with each other.
How to make people smile
#Engagement
It's the thing I do when I meet new people. I make them feel cared about and appreciated. You can too!
Online Safety for kids
As someone who made online friends at 14, I know a thing or two about teaching kids to be safe online.
Education Technology
The minute I was handed an iPad as a first year teacher is when I finally could breathe. Let me help your school integrate without being oversold on fancy equipment.
Ask A Jewish Person
Ask those questions you have been nervous to ask your Jewish coworkers guilt free in this fun Q&A workshop. Great for public schools and churches!
Jewish Holiday Experience
Want to know more about Hanuka, Purim (Jewish Halloween but not really), or any random holiday you want to learn more about? Let me share those stories with you!
What Makes Someone Jewish?
A facilitated dialogue on what makes someone Jewish that morphs into a chance for participants to share their Jewish story. Can be great for Synagogues during holidays and Shabbat.
DEBATE AGAINST HATE
Passionately debate controversial topics while learning healthy conversation tactics on the spot.
