A framework to leave with, not just a feeling.
I don't set out to simply motivate a room. Every talk is built to leave the audience with something reusable: a way of seeing their own work differently, not just a moment of inspiration.
Keynote speaking & workshops
Talks and interactive sessions on visibility, healthcare communication, and the Human Enterprise Model, built for conferences, corporate teams, and academic audiences.
Master of ceremonies
A honed skill in its own right: hosting galas, dinners, celebrations, and nonprofit events with the same clarity and presence I bring to a keynote, keeping the room engaged and the program moving.
Graduate School Panel
My first formal speaking engagement, sharing my experience navigating graduate school, research, and career pathways with undergraduates.
Public Speaking in the World of Research
Invited back to lead a full workshop on communicating complex science and presenting with confidence, my first time teaching research communication rather than just discussing my own path.
Let's Talk Research
My first health-focused panel, on research pathways, translational medicine, and how research improves patient care. I was the only graduate student on a panel of professors.
A Day in the Life of a Medical Science Liaison
Organized and hosted this as GASP's Professional Development Coordinator, one of my first times creating programming rather than simply participating in it.
Medical Pathways Panel
Shared my path into graduate school, research, and healthcare alongside a discussion of different routes into medicine and allied health.
Black Research Network Symposium
Presented my published research on dry skin and hand hygiene practices in a racially diverse university community. The work received the Outstanding Graduate Student Award, one of two given at the symposium by the BRN and the Black Graduate Students' Association, and was later featured by the Black Research Network. It became the foundation for my flash talk at the Physiology & Black Health Symposium.
Black Alumni Panel & Mixer
Joined accomplished Black alumni to discuss leadership, mentorship, community, and career development. This event introduced me to Derrick Raphael, leading to an ongoing relationship and future speaking opportunities.
Third Annual Physiology & Black Health Symposium
Theme: Representation and Finding Your Pathway. Hosted by the Department of Physiology at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, I was one of eight trainees selected to give a flash talk, presenting my dermatology research to faculty, clinicians, and researchers. The talk received the symposium's Poster Presentation Award.
Black Flourishing Breakfast
Mentored Black high school students preparing for university, on leadership, networking, careers, and belonging.
Making the Invisible Visible
How overlooked realities, in a patient population, a market, or a team, quietly limit outcomes, and a practical model for surfacing them.
The Human Enterprise Model
Treating your own growth like an organization treats its departments: leadership, strategy, communication, and culture, developed on purpose rather than left to chance.
Representation in Skin Health
What research on skin and public health reveals about equity, communication, and where medical guidance quietly excludes the people it's meant to serve.
Translating Science for Commercial Impact
Why healthcare innovation fails when adoption fails, and how to turn dense evidence into learning and messaging that people actually act on.
