Inspirational Speaking

Coming from a mental health perspective, my speeches and poetry give insight and inspire any audience while educating those who are not familiar with what it’s like to live with mental health challenges.

The onset of my illness came at 20; about 35 years ago when I was a chemical engineering student in her junior year at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. There have been many deep deep valleys and peeks. But through it all--with treatment, prayer and hard work—I kept going and reaching for many different goals; sometimes missing the mark, but always hopeful. I never gave up. (see resilience)

I have many stories of hope and healing I would like to share with you.
