Veterinary Speaking & Continuing Education
Speaking and Team Presentations
I’m a member of the Fear Free Speakers Bureau and have presented at national and local veterinary conferences, CE events, and professional organizations on topics ranging from feline friendly handling to portfolio careers in veterinary medicine. I present with creativity, practical takeaways and humor to make learning fun.
Previous national venues include presenting for VMX, Royal Canin, VETgirl, the AVMA Convention, the AVMA Veterinary Leadership Conference, Pet Sitters International, Hound, Fear Free, and the House Call and Mobile Vet Virtual Conference.
Locally in the Austin area, I’ve presented on feline friendly concepts for multiple clinics and vet professionals, including team training at the Austin Animal Center.
Contact me about a proposed speaking topic, or see some sample topics below:

Continuing Education Moderation
In addition to speaking, I provide moderation services for continuing education webinars and conferences. I bring the same warmth and professionalism to moderating that I bring to presenting — keeping sessions on track, engaging the audience, and creating a comfortable space for questions and discussion.
Past moderation engagements include conferences for Traveling Vet Retreats, the Feline Veterinary Medical Association's 2023 Spring into Feline Medicine conference, and the Relief Veterinary Medical Association's 2025 Virtual Relief Veterinary Conference.
