SPEAKING & EVENTS
Serious ideas don't require serious presentations.
People learn more when they're engaged, connect more when they're having fun, and remember more when they get to participate. As a pharmacist, comedian, and author, I bring a rare combination of clinical expertise, storytelling, and humor to the stage.
Whether your audience needs fresh perspectives, practical skills, or simply a great time, let's create an experience worth remembering.
Keynote Speaking
Talks that make people think, laugh, and actually remember what they heard.
Each talk is built around one big idea, real stories, and real evidence:
-
The Next Scene: why the hardest part of change isn't learning something new. It's letting go of who you used to be.
-
Remission Possible: a pharmacist's practical, evidence-based look at type 2 diabetes and metabolic health.
-
The Courage to Think: how priming, pressure, and bias undermine critical thinking, and how to get it back.
More on each below.
Interactive Workshops
Learning by doing. And laughing.
My improv-based workshops use interactive exercises to explore communication, adaptability, collaboration, creativity, and leadership. Participants don't need to be comedians. They just need to be willing to try something different.
Participants will explore:
Listening and communicating more effectively
Becoming more comfortable with uncertainty
Building trust and connection
Collaborating creatively
Responding instead of reacting
Runs from 60 minutes to a full day, on its own or paired with a keynote.

Comedy & Emceeing
Let's make your event a little more fun.
Nobody wants to sit through another painfully predictable conference. As an improv comedian and performer, I bring humor, spontaneity, and energy to professional events, whether you need someone to keep things moving, introduce speakers, or get the audience laughing.
Available for:
-
Conference emceeing and event hosting
-
Corporate events and celebrations

Professional association gatherings

Customized comedy and audience engagement
SPEAKING & WORKSHOP TOPICS
Three talks. One workshop. Zero boring sessions.
THE NEXT SCENE
The hardest part of change isn't learning something new. It's letting go of who you used to be.
Change is inevitable. Moving forward is harder when we're attached to identities that once served us. Through stories, humor, and lessons from improv, audiences learn to recognize what's holding them back, accept the uncertainty, and adapt to whatever comes next.
Keynote: change, identity, adaptability, resilience
REMISSION POSSIBLE
Type 2 diabetes doesn't have to be a one-way street.
As a pharmacist and co-founder of Diabetes Remission Partners, I break down the practical science of metabolic health, muscle, and behavior change. Clear, evidence-based, and occasionally funny, because knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things.
Keynote: type 2 diabetes, metabolic health, strength, sustainable habits
THE REHEARSAL
An improv workshop for whatever comes next.
The hands-on companion to The Next Scene. Participants practice listening, adapting, and responding to the unexpected in a low-stakes room. No comedy experience required. No one has to be funny. That's my job.
Workshop: 60 minutes to a full day, stand-alone or paired with a keynote
THE COURAGE TO THINK
How priming, pressure, and bias undermine critical thinking, and how to get it back.
Smart people go along with ideas nobody actually believes. This talk explores the hidden cues and social pressure that shape our decisions, and practical ways to notice the nudge, name the frame, and ask the most radical question in any meeting: why?
Keynote or breakout: critical thinking, bias, groupthink, decision-making
