Making a Positive Difference for K-12th Grade Students...

---

My Goal as a Motivational Speaker for K-12th Grade Students for the past 25 years as a School Assembly Presenter throughout the United States and Canada has been to encourage Students to be the BEST VERSION   of themselves they can be. 

To pursue their Goals.

Make Healthy Choices. 

Be Peacebuilders. 

Celebrate Diversity. 

Lead as Outstanding Citizens. 

Shine Bright in their own unique way!

To remember that every day is a GIFT!

Each is the STAR of their Own Life!

And to Live by the Golden Rule!

I provide Elementary, Middle and High School Presentations (at 45 minutes in length). Each Assembly is modified to be age, topics and theme appropriate for the specific age group I am speaking to. Personal stories and numerous visual props are utilized as teachable metaphors to assist me in delivering my uplifting and entertaining messages (i.e. A giant-sized remote control reminds Students to "Stay on a Positive Channel and MUTE the negative."  I drive home the messages that Teachers are Life Coaches. Counselors help us carry our baggage (assisting in working through issues in a healthy way) and Police Officers at school (SRO's) are friends & trusted resources!

I am HONORED to be celebrating my 26th year as the Official International D.A.R.E. Safety & Self-Esteem Buddy, and to be a proud recipient of the Chief Daryl F. Gates D.A.R.E. Lifetime Achievement Award. My work with Law Enforcement in schools has also earned me the President's Award from the National School Safety Advocacy Council. And numerous Mayoral, Chiefs of Police, Sheriff's and School Superintendent accommodations.  I am very grateful to currently be in Partnership with numerous Law Enforcement Agencies that generously fund my Presentations in their community schools, and to be partnered with Non-Profit Organizations such as California Central Coast Cops 'N Kids.
