Speaking
I speak on AI ethics, civic technology, youth leadership, and the work of building systems that actually invite people in. Every engagement is prepared with care — not a speech, but a genuine contribution.









What do we owe the systems we're building? Drawing on three years of co-creative work with AI and published research on AI consciousness, this session explores the ethics of human-AI relationships at the frontier — and what engineers and builders must grapple with now, before philosophy catches up.
How AI-facilitated deliberation can transform fragmented conversations into collective action. A practitioner's perspective on building Convexus — and what happens when you take seriously the idea that technology should invite people in, not filter them out.
What it actually looks like to found organizations, publish books, attend UN forums, and build a startup — before most people think you're old enough to be trusted. For young audiences and the adults who support them: a candid look at what it takes, what it costs, and what it's worth.
From a decade of mentorship and community-building: what actually moves the needle for girls in STEM, why representation alone isn't enough, and what it looks like when young women stop waiting for the pipeline and start building their own doors.
Drawing on formal submissions to UN processes and participation in global AI governance dialogues, this session examines the gap between where policy is and where technology is — and what that gap costs communities that can least afford it.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering, AI, policy, youth advocacy, and writing. If your event needs something that combines these threads in a specific way, reach out — I'm happy to develop something tailored to your audience and goals.
Sharing ideas, building connection, and opening new pathways — especially for youth, women, and underrepresented voices — is work I care deeply about. I bring preparation, presence, and a commitment to meaningful engagement, not just a speech.
To honor the time, labor, and energy that goes into quality speaking engagement, I typically request an honorarium. Fees generally range from $750 to $5,000 depending on:
When my presence is central to a fundraising effort, I may request a higher honorarium or a value-based structure. Honoring someone and asking them to help raise money are not the same thing — I've learned to distinguish between the two.
For youth-serving organizations, schools, or grassroots programs with limited resources, I'm open to sliding-scale options and collaborative alternatives. I care about access, and I'm happy to find a path forward when mission and timing align.
