SPEAKING & HOSTING
On a regular basis I get asked to speak, host, emcee, present and participate in both scripted and improvised activities for all kinds of various businesses, organizations and events. Public speaking might be one of the top fears, but for me it’s one of the most fun things I enjoy doing. Give me a stage and a mic and I’m at home ready to turn it ON…and I don’t mean the mic.
