Personal Details

Bio

Talented presenter, Master of Ceremonies, Workshop Facilitator, Panel moderator, Keynote Speaker, Speaking Coach and Professional Mentor.

A Quarterfinalist in the Toastmasters International Speech competition, my winning speech "Lead from the heart" literally inspired audience members to change their lives. Other competition wins include the popular Humorous speech about my dating life post widowhood.

I enjoy sharing my personal and professional stories with diverse audiences. I am equally comfortable presenting online or onstage and creating engaging presentations to complement my delivery.

If you are looking for a professional presenter/facilitator for your next event, let's talk!

A BIT MORE ABOUT ME:

YOU: Have you ever been terrified of speaking publicly?

ME: Not once. Give me a microphone and I will give you a show.

YOU: Have you ever been lost for words?

ME: Only when I saw a very large snake in my house.

YOU: Have you ever spoken in front of large audiences and had them laughing and crying during your presentation?

ME: Regularly. Contact me and I can share some of my Youtube videos with you.

YOU: Have you won awards and accolades for your speaking skills?

ME: Sure have. I love to compete (but am not real fond of losing).

YOU: Aren't you an IT geek?

ME: One of the nicest compliments anyone ever paid me was to say I had too much personality for IT.

Quarterfinalist - International Speech Competition

Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue competing through the Area, Division and District levels.

District Finalist - Humorous Speech competition

"Back in the ring" chronicled the highs and lows of my marriages and dating exploits. No ex was named in the delivery of the speech, because a lady doesn't kiss and tell.
