Speaking Engagements & Trainings

I've been fortunate to provide presentations to a wide variety of businesses, committees, trade associations, and conference gatherings. My experience with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been an asset to many businesses and local governments to help ensure that compliance is built into the facilities and operations of the organization from the ground up.

My presentations can be held either virtually or in person. Contact me for details. Some of my presentations include:
