Lecture Information

For the last 18 years I have been speaking at colleges, conferences, performing stand-up and a one-women show all over the country and internationally. I have spoken to groups as diverse as 40,000 scientists, doctors and researchers at an international conference in Switzerland to little old ladies at a rural Lutheran church in New Jersey. They say you need to find a niche in the speaking world. Who is your audience? My audience is anyone who is looking for a combination of humor, entertainment and inspiration.

I give a personal narrative of surviving my own problems with alcohol including an alcohol related sexual assault. I talk about how my dependence on alcohol and my decision to quit drinking in my first year of college. I do not advocate abstinence from alcohol but rather informed choice responsibility and basic awareness.

In this presentation I give information about how to make safe sex a desirable choice, how alcohol and drugs impact decision-making and some of my personal experiences which include recovering from an alcohol fueled sexual assault, living with HIV and coping with the challenges associated with those events.
