Aside from teaching, one aspect of my career that I greatly enjoy, and value is getting to share professional insights, experiences, and ideas with others. There are many areas that I facilitate workshops and present on, and when and where possible, I use the wants and needs of the hosts/audience to guide the design of the experience.
