Speaking
Invite me to speak with your audience.
I speak about GLP-1 medications from the place where patient experience, advocacy, health coaching, and access all meet. I work with patient communities, care teams, employers, podcasts, and conference audiences, and I build the talk around the people in the room.
Speaking topics
Five talks, each tailorable.
The STRONG Framework for Self-Advocacy
A practical introduction to Stop, Think, Respond, Offer Clarity, Navigate, and Grow. Participants learn how to use the framework during a difficult conversation and how to reflect afterward.
Affordable GLP-1 access from the patient perspective
A patient-led discussion of affordability, insurance barriers, pharmacy concerns, and what can happen when treatment becomes unavailable.
Compassionate communication in GLP-1 care
A conversation about listening, respecting patient autonomy, and reducing weight bias in clinical and community settings.
The patient experience behind policy decisions
An explanation of how regulatory, coverage, and pricing decisions affect people using GLP-1 medications in daily life.
Building patient-led advocacy
What I learned while creating a petition, speaking with reporters, submitting public comments, and building patient resources. This talk includes the decisions I would approach differently now.
