Speaking
I speak regularly at conferences across the Mid-Atlantic and around the country, sharing practical insights on heritage tourism, audience engagement, storytelling, and collaboration. I’ve presented to a range of audiences, including museums, Main Streets, DMOs, heritage areas, byways, and cultural organizations of all sizes.
Below you’ll find a list of upcoming and past speaking engagements. If you’re planning a conference, summit, or training and are looking for a speaker who can inspire action with real-world strategy — I’d love to connect.
