I was honored to be one of three finalists in the Last Story Standing competition, hosted by the National Speakers Association — selected from over 300 professional speakers across the United States from more than 27+ chapter.

I did this as a first-year member with English as a second language.

This video captures my performance from the national finals — a celebration of storytelling, humor, and heart. It was an incredible experience to share the stage with such talented speakers and to connect with an audience that truly loves the power of story.

This is story reminds us how we can navigate challenges and how folks are scared to make mistakes

✨ Because at the end of the day, great stories don’t just entertain — they connect us.

I've performed all over the world, but few things compare to speaking to a room full of people who care so deeply about making workplaces more human, creative, and joyful. You could feel the energy, the laughter, and the connection bouncing around the room. This is from Disrupt HR Portland-August 2025
