Bold, Not Old™ Speaking & Keynotes
Inspire. Challenge. Reframe.
I am a national speaker with more than 35 years of experience presenting to professional, community, and leadership audiences across the country. As the founder of Bold, Not Old™, I deliver inspiring, evidence-informed keynotes and facilitated experiences that challenge outdated narratives about aging and invite people to approach this stage of life with clarity, confidence, and intention.
With over three decades working in senior care , my work blends gerontological expertise, lived experience, and practical, actionable tools. Each session moves audiences beyond fear-based or crisis-driven thinking and toward proactive, values-driven life design.
Whether you’re educating professionals, engaging community groups, or inspiring individuals navigating midlife and later-life transitions, every experience is crafted to be thought-provoking, empowering, and immediately applicable.
