Book To speak

Wilderness guide. Classroom teacher. Founder and mom to the next generation. I've had one guiding truth through it all, and it is at the core of all my talks

I believe whole heartly that each and everyone of us can make a difference in the world and education is the ripple for that impact. While I like to say I'm a bit of a renaissance woman the truth is, everything I've done was rooted in being an educator. Now I teach others how to have that impact.

Signature talks

01 Teaching by Design

Why education-based businesses (courses, trainings, workshops) are structurally different from other businesses, and what founders miss when they treat them the same.

02 Grace and Grit

Building a business in the margins of early motherhood: what it actually looks like to build something real without abandoning the life you already have. And yes the honest truth of sleep deprivation with a kiddo that didn't sleep through the night for the first 2 years.

03 Art of the Pivot

My own path from wilderness guide in Alaska, to classroom science teacher, to founder and the thread that ran underneath all three even when it didn't look like one from the outside.

I don't just teach this. I've lived it.

For nearly twenty years I've been designing learning experiences. From guided trips in wilderness of Alaska to the countryside of Italy, in middle school through undergraduate classrooms, and inside two businesses I've built from the ground up. I taught and led in rooms most people don't go looking for; on a trail, in front of a chalkboard, at the helm of a business I built myself. One of those businesses earned international recognition within three years. I don't speak in theory. I speak from twenty years of watching, up close, what actually helps people learn, grow, and finish what they started.
