I enjoy public speaking and frequently present on emergency management, how to make personal preparedness fun, my disaster response / recovery experiences, higher education emergency management, and natural hazards. To inquire about a speaking engagement, contact me.
In 2023, I spoke on various Emergency Management & resilience topics across the state of California for audiences large and small. Here is a compilation of some speaking videos and photos, including my largest event as a plenary speaker for an international audience of emergency managers during the 2023 EM Vision series.
Here is a sample of my speaking abilities: a TedTalk style talk that I gave to an international audience of emergency managers in 2018.
Here is an example of my virtual speaking capabilities: a keynote presentation I gave to an audience of wildland fire professionals from all over Colorado in 2020.
