IGNITE INNOVATION.
International Speaking and Teaching Sensation
Background
I'm constantly communicating what I've learned and establishing new directions for my work by presenting at conferences, facilitating workshops, and leading design studios. From teaching 300 engineering undergraduates in India and Colombia to coaching 30 Brazilian professors in Portuguese, my curriculum spans across disciplines, languages, and all ages. I’ve got a special way of engaging and connecting with my audiences that has shown in their outpouring of love post-sessions, and I’m humbled to be able to make a difference in their careers.
