Your connection with your audience is completely credible. Your many, varied professional experiences have fortified you with a meaningful understanding of people that allows others to believe you almost immediately and to connect to you with trust. In all my years, I think those kinds of attributes are the most important. I love your sincerity….AND YOUR HUMOR. All the other stuff, too – like the incorporation of clever technology in your presentations that make them interactive, current, and fun" Richard Etheridge NW AHEC Wake Forest University School of Medicine

Biography: Learn more

I've had many, varied professional experiences which have given me a unique understanding and desire to listen and learn from as many people as possible. I've been fortunate to have served within the Addiction, Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation field.

"Remember the Patient. Remember those who help others." Dr. Don Berwick As a speaker, adult education scholar, patient and health care advocate my work is centered around that central theme.

We each have the desire to be appreciated but the way we want to be appreciated may be different. We each have the desire to speak our truth about our health care needs but the way we speak our truth may be different. We each have the desire for people to listen to our health care needs but the communication tools we chose to bring us a listening ear may be different.

Only when we chose to collaborate, respect the practical wisdom we each possess and listen, and I mean really listen do we have a chance to improve not only our own health but also the health of all people.

Susannah Fox, of the Pew Internet and American Life Projects best describes my goal for each presentation.

"We are all on this adventure together, whether you are a researcher, a clinician, a patient, or an entrepreneur. You want to build value and contribute to better health. Your best chance is to band together with other people, stay humble, ask for – and offer – help."
