Invite Me To Present At Your Chapter

One of my favorite ways to meet new people and expose myself to new ideas is by presenting what I've learned. Here are some topics I'd like to cover in a presentation:

• the role of personal finance in career decisions (SABA event)
• moving from practicing law to legaltech (LinkedIn post)
• diversifying your identity and income (LinkedIn post, LinkedIn post)
• building an audience (SABA event)

If you're looking for programming on these topics, hit me up!
