Signature Talks

Each talk is customized to your audience, format and outcomes.

The Screen Dilemma: Raising Kids in the Age of AI

What do parents, schools, and companies actually owe children in an AI-saturated world? I draw on my work shaping California's online safety legislation to give audiences a clear-eyed framework for action.

Communication is Leadership

In today's environment, how you say something is as consequential as what you decide. This talk gives executives a practical model for communicating with authority during disruption, crisis, and change.

AI, Access and Democracy

Who gets to shape AI's role in public life — and who gets left out? I challenge audiences to think critically about governance, equity, and what meaningful inclusion in the AI conversation actually looks like.

In today’s environment, communication is not just support — it’s leadership.
