work with me
I am open to opportunities to work freelance as an invited speaker, workshop facilitator, independent researcher, and consultant with brands, community groups, organizations, and municipalities (remote or in Atlanta).
-
As a speaker and workshop facilitator with a background in public scholarship I enjoy creating spaces where people can engage in critical discussions and participate in approachable, hands-on learning.
Public Speaking
I have a background in marketing where I specialized in consumer research, trend-spotting, analytics, and strategic planning. That, paired with my scholarship in sociocultural anthropology makes me well-positioned to speak on topics ranging from the cultural and social impacts of technology to the dynamics of creative work and cultural identity, particularly in the American South. I take an interdisciplinary approach to speaking engagements, offering both academic insights and practical, real-world perspectives.
Invite me to speak at your next event!

I currently offer the following workshops and I am happy to tailor sessions to meet your unique needs whether you’re looking to build new skills or diver deeper into a topic.
