I’m a proficient public speaker who has been up on stages since before I could see over the lectern. Book me to lead an invigorating presentation on a range of topics touching on editing, literacy, and/or nature. With my career in publishing and my experience in children’s programming and outdoor education for all ages, my expertise straddles a unique intersection of writing, outdoor education, and publishing.
