Speaking Engagements

Throughout Orange County, California, I'm more than willing to volunteer doing assemblies at churches and schools (public and private). My volunteer assemblies are about Autism/Disability Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion. I talk about my firsthand perspective/experiences of living with Autism and I use juggling, sleight-of-hand, and science as analogies to illustrate my points. I promote acceptance and inclusion for people of all disabilities (or "different abilities"), and teach students how they can be friends to those who seem different to them. I have a juggling analogy about not giving up in life and a science-demo analogy about not bottling things up inside, but rather talking things out with someone they can trust.

Thus far, I have received several testimonials from students, parents, and teachers/staff, including how I changed student's lives. 

My Current #1 Goal: Appear in every single school and church in Orange County (at least) by June 2024.

I upload a video after each assembly on YouTube, showing the school and describing how it went. I have a playlist on YouTube if you're interested to watch: Click here to watch some.
