My work has always bridged industry insight and academic purpose. Drawing from years in media, marketing, and research — and a decade of teaching applied communication — I founded SpeakerPost, a volunteer-based platform that connects educators and professionals in more meaningful, accessible ways. SpeakerPost began as a bridge between classrooms and careers — helping students gain context and direction from professionals who share real-world perspectives. Today, it has evolved into a global collaboration network where educators and industry experts post and respond to guest speaking opportunities across universities, conferences, advisory boards, and professional events. The mission remains rooted in education, but the impact extends well beyond campus walls. For many professionals, SpeakerPost has also become a personal branding and career-building tool — a way to give back while building teaching experience, exploring transitions into adjunct or full-time academia, or showcasing thought leadership through service and storytelling. The platform operates on three values I hold closely: access, generosity, and impact. There’s no payment system — SpeakerPost runs on the belief that knowledge shared freely can change how people learn, teach, and grow. For deeper collaborations, such as advisory boards or paid expert sessions, I continue to facilitate meaningful matches through our advisory services. Alongside SpeakerPost, I’m the founder and publisher of Green Sea Shells, a global wellness magazine exploring culture, well-being, and intentional living. Both ventures share the same philosophy — that authentic connection and knowledge exchange can inspire growth and create lasting change. SpeakerPost is global in reach, but I’m based in Los Angeles, California, where I continue to teach, write, and build partnerships that move education forward.
