Speaking
Drawing on my background as a researcher, educator, writer, and longtime traveler, I bring research and real-world experience together to explore how we understand ourselves, one another, and the places we inhabit.
Research, Storytelling, & Attention
Exploring how observation, interviewing, listening, and storytelling can deepen our understanding of lived experience and turn research into a creative practice.
Cross-Cultural Communication
Drawing on years of living and working across cultures, I explore culture context, listening, curiosity, and the assumptions we bring to our interactions.
Travel, Place, & Belonging
Exploring how moving through and living in different places shapes our identities, our relationships, and our sense of belonging.
Women, Work, & Agency
Drawing on research into girls’ education and women’s work across the global coffee industry, I explore how women navigate systems, create opportunities, and exercise agency within them.
