📣 Events I’m Involved In
I’m one of those people who actually loves networking and events. I’m a true extrovert so meeting new people, learning about causes and business and connecting with others lights me up. Here’s where you’ll find me over the next few months!
Creating Capacity: Parenting, Partnership & The Goldie Effect
Creating Capacity: Parenting, Partnership & The Goldie Effect is for parents and caregivers who’ve felt tapped out and wondered how everyone else seems to have it together—especially those supporting kids with diverse needs and special rights. Moderated by Cayley Benjamin, the conversation features Jeff Norgren and Michelle Hooey sharing honest insights on parenting, partnership, and building capacity. It’s a real, grounded conversation focused on practical tools and the reminder that we’re not alone in it.
