About
I reframe how Alzheimer’s within human behavior is understood. My work integrates scientific rigor, systems-level analysis, and applied experience to deliver presentations that are clear, actionable, and grounded in real-world practice. I translate complex concepts into accessible insight without oversimplifying, challenge outdated narratives with confidence, and focus on approaches that preserve dignity, identity, and connection. Audiences leave with a deeper understanding and practical tools they can apply immediately across professional and community settings.
Signature Keynote: Reframing the Language of Alzheimer’s
How we talk about Alzheimer’s shapes how people experience it. This keynote challenges deficit-focused language and introduces a more accurate, humane way to speak about cognitive change. By reframing words and assumptions, audiences gain clarity, preserve dignity, and strengthen connection with those living with Alzheimer’s. Ideal for healthcare, education, leadership, and community audiences seeking meaningful culture change grounded in compassion and practical insight.

The Alzheimer’s Tiered Progression Matrix
