Presenting Experience:

Years ago, I presented for Women Empowering Women twice. This was when the Edwardsville chapter was newly formed with Laura Mattson. I presented tips on network and business etiquette, and actions to take in the event of an active shooter. I’ve also presented at national conferences for geographers and the CUNA ELL conference (a credit union trade association). In May of 2024, I will be doing this presentation “2 Things People Hate to Talk About” at a Women’s Leadership Conference near Chicago. Expected attendance is 140. In June of 2024, I will be presenting financial health tips (or 6 things I wish I knew at 22) at the Young Professional Conference where attendance is expected to be 120.
