Speaking Engagements
I began public speaking at the precocious age of 12. In high school I competed nationally in Lincoln Douglas Debate in high school and Foreign Extemporaneous speaking. Being a femgineer most of my days are filled sitting in front of my computer and coding away, so I relish opportunities to speak on technical subjects and my experiences as a femgineer. Below is a list of my speaking gigs. Email me if you’re interested in having me come and speak to your organization or company.

Just read the NY Times article (4/18/10). I tried to start a VC fund to invest in women in the late 80’s and have written a play that touches on many of the subjects mentioned in the article. I would be delighted to get your feedback if you’d like to read it. I thought you may know of a conference that’s looking for an “entertainment” that coincides with meeting goals. Any referrals much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
