Experienced Keynote and Session Speaker, Emcee, and Workshop Facilitator
Hi, I'm Cari! I’m a lawyer, coach, and former marketing agency owner who now speaks to audiences across the country about strategic storytelling, human-first marketing and the ethics of generative AI, among other topics.
Whether I’m keynoting a conference, facilitating a workshop or emceeing a packed room, I bring energy, empathy and real-world expertise to every mic I touch.
Audiences walk away not only inspired—but equipped. I don’t do fluff. I deliver substance wrapped in storytelling, strategies backed by soul, and ideas that spark real change.
