As one of the country's leading authorities on Millennials and Plurals (members of the post-Millennial generation), I am often contacted for speaking engagements, media interviews, panel moderation/participation and guest columns. My journalist heritage (I used to be a producer and host of a live morning news show) groomed me to be engaging and excel as a public speaker, but it's my business savvy and marketing acumen that keep the requests coming. My topics have varied greatly - from modern management techniques to traveling trends to general marketing tips - but they generally have something to do with understanding Millennials, or a particular demographic.

Below is a curated list of my engagements; a comprehensive list can be found on my living resume on Pinterest. Please contact me to discuss topics I can cover for your organization or story assignment. This is one of my favorite things I do!
