Speaking & Collaboration

I speak and lead conversations in spaces where honesty matters more than polish — where there's room for lived experience, research, and the kind of nuance that doesn't fit on a motivational slide.

My work sits at the intersection of cancer, caregiving, health disparities, and community support. I bring both personal and professional experience to the room, and I'm most useful in settings that value grounded conversation over performance.

Topics I speak on:

  • Caregiving & the Unspoken Experience What it's like to support someone through cancer — and what often goes unacknowledged.

  • Breast Cancer Survivorship & Identity Grief, identity shifts, and life after treatment — the part that doesn't get a ribbon.

  • Holding Space Without Fixing Rethinking support in serious illness — for providers, caregivers, and communities.

  • Health Disparities & Access to Care How systems shape access to care — and what that looks like in real life.

I'm a good fit for:

Conferences, panels, workshops, healthcare trainings, and community events that want substance over spectacle. If your audience is looking for someone who can move between research and real life, let's talk.
