I develop and lead a variety of trainings and provide speaking, training and media consulting services to organizations in the U.S. and abroad, in person and remotely.
Audiences vary from high school seniors to adult professionals in corporate, educational and media sectors.
Subjects range from media content creating and strategy, to marketing and content monetization, as well as team building and creative thinking. I offer presentations, hands-on workshops, seminars, symposia, and conference presentations in different formats.
