I regularly speak to K-12 students, parents, educators, and youth services about online safety, digital citizenship, and cyber bullying. If you’d like to learn about how you can book me to speak at a location, visit my Speak page or fill out this form to get started.
These topics are my most common questions and resources requested when I speak to students, minors, and their families. You can reach me if you need help.
