Speaking Engagements
Are you just surviving, or are you THRIVING?
I was just surviving for most of my adult life- going from one thing to another, checking things off of my to-do list, and going through the motions but not really being present in the moment. That all changed when I figured out what I needed for myself to be fulfilled and happy and started focusing on not just surviving, but THRIVING. From being brought up in an immigrant household, going to college at 15, spending countless hours in the operating room, running my own businesses, and raising my twin daughters, I’ve come to learn a lot of important life lessons. I'd love to share these lessons with you and help you go from surviving to thriving too!
My previous speaking engagements cover topics such as female empowerment, the entrepreneur experience, and struggles of a physician mom. If you would like to inquire about my services, please fill out the form below.
