Speaking & Media
I speak to veterinary and animal-health audiences about communication, humor, creativity, clinical uncertainty, veterinary history, and the human side of animal care.
My talks are practical, funny, evidence-informed, and built for people who have spent too much time playing Candy Crush during CE lectures.

How humor can build trust, reduce tension, improve teaching, and help veterinary teams survive the emotional whiplash of clinical practice.
Cartooning for Veterinary Communication
A hands-on session about using simple drawings, visual metaphors, and humor to make veterinary ideas clearer and more memorable.
