Introvert Turned International Speaker
I do not strive to be a keynote speaker. I strive to speak from my heart. Each of us has our own story. Our struggles. Our victories. Our purpose. My purpose is to serve, encourage, and empower others. Ideals that have been passed on from generation to generation, redefined by my experiences, and cemented in my heart from the joy of triumphing over adversity.
