Speaking Engagements

Speaking Engagements with me are designed for audiences who are ready to think differently about public health, leadership, and their own careers. As a global public health and strategy executive based in Philadelphia, PA, I draw on 15+ years of experience across the United States and Africa to translate complex health systems into stories and tools people can actually use.

My keynote addresses anchor the experience: I connect public health to purpose-driven leadership, sharing real moments from fieldwork, policy meetings, and program design where values and data had to meet. Alongside keynotes, I offer a Non-Medical Public Health Perspectives lecture, where I unpack how social, economic, and operational decisions-not just clinical care-shape health outcomes. Organizers often pair this with a Career Pathways Talk, a high-energy session where I map unconventional roles in public health, highlight nontraditional journeys (including my own), and help students and professionals see where their skills belong.

For audiences facing transition or change, a Navigating Uncertainty Seminar provides an interactive space to practice concrete tools for decision-making, reflection, and resilience. I share the frameworks I leaned on when I left a comfortable role to work abroad, or when a project suddenly shifted direction. A Motivational Speech option layers in more personal storytelling, inviting attendees to reframe setbacks as data points rather than dead ends.

Leaders and emerging leaders often add a Leadership Development Presentation, focused on leading with clarity in complex environments, and Leadership Thought Collaboration sessions-smaller, discussion-based engagements where I sit with leadership groups to unpack their specific challenges and opportunities.

Every speaking engagement is customized for the audience-students, educators, public health teams, corporate partners, or community organizations-and can be delivered in person or virtually. Attendees leave not only inspired, but equipped with language, pathways, and next steps to discover their path and create their impact.

Prices vary from $3500 to $5000 based on the type of engagement.
