Speaking & media

I've been communicating in public forums across my entire career — conference stages, press interviews, and analyst briefings. At Sourcegraph and Uplevel, I was PR-trained and served as a spokesperson for the company, working with journalists and leading analyst briefings with firms including Gartner and Forrester. On stage, I've spoken to technical audiences at developer-focused conferences and to broader early-career audiences at events like Grace Hopper.

Five Essentials to Rock Your Interview

Grace Hopper Celebration · 2013

The job interview process can be daunting. But with practice and preparation, it is quite possible to rock the interview and land your dream job. This interactive workshop breaks the process into five essential parts: your resume, elevator pitch, technical interview, personal value identification, and the company—or reverse—interview. During the workshop, you’ll be able to practice these skills and leave with a “5x5” interview prep worksheet to help you ace any interview situation.
