Hello, it’s nice to meet you!

I give keynote talks and lead workshops on what is broken in the higher education system, being part of a learning community, and how to figure out next steps with purpose that don’t involve a four-year traditional college. I also share my story of being a female entrepreneur who started a college from scratch.

For more information or to book me for a speaking engagement, please connect with me using my contact page.

Fees for speaking are negotiable on a sliding scale and range from $500 to $2500 depending on the length of the presentation, how much preparation work is involved, and whether travel expenses are covered. 

I am also happy to spend an hour or so talking with you about higher education reform or how Wayfinding works or what I have learned through the process of starting a college. My rate for conversations of those sorts is $250 per hour.

Please view samples of my speaking appearances and interviews below:
