About Me
In a world where appearance is so heavily valued, my goal is to share with you my experiences and those of my family. I challenge myself to motivate and encourage, especially those who are impacted by cranio-facial anomalies- specifically cleft lip and palate.
My approach using real-life examples, humor, and honesty are the basis of my speaking sessions.
