Panels & Conferences

Talking Shop.

Sharing ideas, thoughts and debating with like-minded people energizes me. Whenever possible, I love to represent brands and organizations at events, conferences or panels to move forward innovation and break status quo in how things are done in industry. This has taken me all over the world and I’ve met some incredible people along the way.
