Community Book Study
In Spring 2025, I facilitated a community program for the Denville Township School District around the topic of children and technology. Using Jonathan Haidt’s book, The Anxious Generation, as a jumping off point, we hosted three open discussion sessions and a panel of community experts.

Work with Me
Speaking
My speaking experience spans a wide range of audiences and topics. I have spoken to 1,100 teens at a national convention about technology and project planning. And I have run smaller workshops with young moms around the topic of media use and child development. I focus on engaging audiences and giving insightful tips and ideas.
Facilitating
Through professional and volunteer positions, I have led community discussions, virtual meetings with global audiences, and small-scale workshops around topics in media, technology, child development, and media literacy.
Book Clubs
I have run the Tri-Boro Tots Parenting Network book club for three years. I also facilitated a large community-wide book study program with the Denville School District. My role has been to tease out the most important ideas from the book of choice and facilitate discussion between club members.
