Public Speaking
Helping You Make Sense Of Your Journey After Brain Injury



You have a powerful, eloquent presence at the podium with an important story that inspires and informs.
Marybeth Vargus, Director of Family and Advocacy
VINFEN Annual Family Celebration – Dorchester, MA
I am a public speaker with experience in providing heartfelt, informative and professional presentations about brain injury with a clear ability to captivate and connect with an audience. I have been a keynote speaker for a number of organizations with a compelling presentation titled, Look Closer. My Brain Injury is Invisible.
While I am usually the sole speaker engaging audiences with insights and stories from my TBI journey, other times audiences have the added benefit of seeing my former speech & language pathologist, Katya Bowen, MS, CCC-SLP, CBIS, join me on stage. Together we offer strong presentations by weaving my personal TBI journey together with Katya's professional expertise. Contact me below to discuss pricing and availability.
