Speaking & Collabs

I bring a humorous, yet direct energy to my speaking engagements and content. I currently speak at bariatric and obesity conferences annually and cohost the ObesityHelp conference. I teach group fitness at Life Time Fitness and various events locally and nationally. I have been featured in The New York Times and Women’s Health Magazine.

I collaborate with companies that align with my content and community goals. Typically, these are in the following industries: healthcare, obesity and weight loss, nutrition, fitness, self-care, and cosmetic surgery.

Professionally, I work as an event marketing manager and have been in marketing and content creation for over 20 years.
