I'm so glad you're here, stick around, there's so much to learn! -Sarah
Stay
awhile
I didn’t grow up coding or dream of working in AI. In fact, my background was in real estate, until life pushed me to rethink everything.
When my son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, I needed work that allowed me to be home, so I turned to the online business world.
What I found was that people weren’t failing because they lacked motivation, they were stuck because the technology felt overwhelming.
So I leaned into learning it, figuring it out piece by piece, and eventually teaching it in a way that made sense.
Now, as a speaker and educator, I help audiences see that AI doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating.
My favorite part of every talk is watching people go from hesitant to curious: realizing they can understand this, they can use it, and they don’t have to be techy to do it powerfully.
I didn’t start in tech... I learned to make it approachable.
Hey friend! I''m Sarah
Talks that make AI approachable, human, and a little less intimidating.
When I speak, my goal is simple: to help people feel more confident using technology.
Whether it’s a conference, a company training, or a leadership event, I break down big, sometimes overwhelming topics into stories, strategies, and ideas that actually make sense.
Each talk is filled with approachable insight, humor, and real-world examples that show audiences they don’t have to be “techy” to keep up in a world powered by AI.
You don’t have to be a tech expert to thrive in the AI era.
In this keynote, I take audiences on a journey from overwhelmed to confident, helping them see that AI isn’t here to replace them, it’s here to support them.
We’ll talk about curiosity, courage, and how to ask questions (even the simple ones) that lead to real understanding. Because when people feel safe to learn, they start to grow.
