Speaking Engagements

INFJ—emphasis on the I. Public speaking scares the 💩 out of me, so I make a point to do it as often as I can. Some topics I’ve tackled include but are not limited to:

• Women (of Color) in Tech

• Quiet Leadership & Management

• Product Design

Upcoming:

None. Taking a bit of a break.
