Speaking & Conferences
I speak with organizations, universities, and conferences on topics at the intersection of trauma across systems and the life span; bridging trauma science, leadership, and organizational systems.
My work focuses on translating research into practical strategies that help professionals working in complex and high stress environments sustain their work, strengthen their teams, and build resilient institutions.
Presentations are designed to both be insightful and actionable, equipping leaders and professional with tools they can immediately apply in their organizations.
