Speaking & Collabs

As a speaker and content creator, I have a lighthearted, yet direct energy. I have been a public speaker for over 10 years and a conference emcee since 2019. I have written numerous articles on fitness and obesity and have been featured on Good Morning America, and in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Women’s Health Magazine.

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