Speaking + Training

I aim to pack every presentation with relevant, research-based content, tangible tools, and amusing anecdotes so the audience learns something new AND has some fun, too. 

"Thank you for speaking at our MOPS group last year. We received the end of the year surveys from the ladies and they just raved about you. Many asked specifically if we could have you come again."

-Jenny, MOPS Leader

Topics of Expertise/Interest:

  • interpersonal communication and conflict resolution (especially in the context of couples)
  • early relationship transitions (e.g., marriage prep and first-time parenthood)
  • relationship education (e.g., research-based skills and insights for healthy relationships, red flags, etc.)
  • self-publishing journey + author talks/signings
  • entrepreneurship (mompreneur, solopreneur, serial entrepreneur - products and services)

From nonprofit organizations to MOPS groups, university classrooms to conferences, I’ve had the privilege of speaking, teaching, and training at organizations like Abilene Christian University, El Centro College, Head Start, Southern Methodist University, Stonebriar Community Church, Texas Woman’s University, Uplift Education, and Weber State University.
