Parents are tired of being told to be scared of technology. My talks swap the panic for a plan: what’s really going on with kids, screens, scams, and AI, and the simple steps families can take the same night.
I bring 25+ years of IT and cybersecurity experience and the real-life perspective of a mom who’s been there, all delivered in plain English with a few laughs along the way.
25+ years in IT and cybersecurity means the advice is accurate, current, and tested in the real world.

I’m a parent living this right alongside your audience, so I know what actually works with today’s kids, and what doesn’t.
A Princess Bride–inspired keynote about getting your family safely through the scary parts of technology, without fear running the show.
How scammers try to get into your family’s accounts and devices, and the easy habits that keep them out.
A digital safety talk for tweens and teens. The internet is a huge playground full of connection, entertainment, and learning, with a few traps hiding around the corners. Once students understand how it actually works, they can steer clear of the dangers and use technology to make their lives better, instead of letting it use them.
A warm, hands-on talk for older adults and the families who love them. What a “smart home” really means, how video calls and smart displays keep grandparents close to the grandkids, and simple ways to spot a scam before it starts. Includes a live voice assistant demo and a game of Spot the Red Flag.
Every talk can be tailored to your audience and time slot, from a 20-minute session to a full keynote or hands-on workshop.
Student assemblies for tweens and teens, parent nights, and staff trainings.
Youth and family nights, senior centers, women’s and men’s groups, and community classes.
Keynotes and breakout sessions for parenting, education, and creator events.
Lunch and learns that help working parents feel confident about tech at home.
