Speaking Engagements
Speaking Engagements
Keynotes • Workshops • Breakout Sessions
I bring science, conservation, and communication to life through stories, humor, and practical insights. My speaking style—often described as edu-tainment—connects people to complex environmental issues in ways that inspire, motivate, and stay with them long after the event is over.
Whether it’s a conference ballroom, a board retreat, or a grassroots gathering, I tailor every talk to the audience’s goals and challenges. Expect real-world examples, a few laughs, and candid conversations about what it means to live and lead in a time when science isn’t always trusted.
Topics I Speak On
Conservation in Action
How organizations can grow their conservation footprint and engage people in meaningful, lasting ways that make a difference on the ground.
The State of Our Working Lands
Rangelands, grasslands, and prairies—why they matter, what challenges they face, and how practical solutions are changing the landscape for the better.
Bridging the Science Trust Gap
Exploring how we build (or lose) public trust in science—and how to use literacy, transparency, and empathy to bring it back.
Adult Learning for Environmental Problem-Solving
Using how adults actually learn to create engagement that leads to action. I share practical ways to design outreach that sticks and inspires change.
Generational Intelligence
How each generation views conservation differently—and how those insights can help us connect, communicate, and collaborate more effectively.
Why Hire Me
Experience that Spans the Land and the Classroom
I’ve spent years working alongside landowners, agencies, NGOs, and communities on conservation and agricultural challenges. I understand both the science and the people behind it.
Practical and Relatable
I translate science into plain language and real-life examples that audiences can understand, remember, and apply. Every talk connects research to real-world results.
Engaging Delivery
Audiences leave with both a laugh and a learning—something they can carry back to their work, their community, or their next big idea.
Let’s Work Together
If you’re planning a conference, leadership meeting, or community event, I’d love to help make it memorable and impactful. Every presentation is customized to your audience and designed to bring people together through shared learning, curiosity, and a touch of humor.
