Storytelling is an art that is one of the most powerful tools for a public speaker. The ability to capture the attention of an audience and make it relevant to their lives is the ultimate goal. For seven years I had a successful entertainment residency singing and playing the piano for a popular hospitality brand. The pandemic of 2020 altered my profession and led me to another gift – teaching which included public speaking. I was offered a teaching position for grades K – 12 at a private school where I teach music and other courses. My presentations are 1 hour long and consist of 3 stories and 3 accompanying original songs that support the topic. Being positive in all situations and circumstances is the focus.

Everyone has a destiny to fulfill, and life presents many paths. Learn to take advantage of every opportunity to maximize your potential. Sometimes the path seems uncertain but push through the difficult times to attain your goals.
