SPEAK

I was honored to be the very first keynote speaker at the annual Arizona Women’s Conference in 2011. Since then, I have shared my personal story and how I’ve learned to find purpose in tragedy with a wide variety of groups, including the YWCA Women’s Empowerment Speaker series, the ASU Seeking Justice in Arizona series, the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial service, and the National Charity League, among others.

I have also served as a moderator for various immigration and policing forums, including a two-part forum by Citizens for a Better Arizona on the impacts of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s abusive policing policies, as well as serving as a presenter on several immigration reform panels. In addition, I offer media training for political candidates and private-sector businesses.
