Interested in booking me for a talk?
I am available to speak both in-person and virtually. I am currently based in San Antonio, Texas, and I am also willing to travel.
I have experience speaking on several topics, including: autism, neurodiversity, mental health, social-emotional learning (SEL), special education, inclusion, diversity, accessibility, writing, and more.
