Requesting a Workshop or Presentation:

I speak on human resilience, healthy aging, clinical nutrition, and qualitative research. My presentations integrate current research with practical applications for healthcare professionals, community organizations, educators, and the public.

My doctoral research examined how community-dwelling older women cultivate and sustain resilience across their lives. Using constructivist grounded theory, I identified everyday practices that support adaptation and well-being through significant life challenges.

Presentation topics include:

• Resilience as construction, not a trait — how resilience is decided and reconsidered from youth through old age
• What older women know — aging, inheritance, and the knowledge a culture loses when it stops listening to its elders
• The nonhuman world as a source of resilience — animals, place, and everyday practice
• Mind-body resilience — integrating clinical nutrition, contemplative practice, and research on how people endure
• 
  

Whether I am speaking to healthcare professionals, academic audiences, community organizations, or the general public, my goal is to present evidence-informed concepts in an engaging, accessible, and meaningful way that encourages reflection, discussion, and practical application.

I am available for keynote addresses, conference sessions, workshops, webinars, and—with particular interest—community education programs.
