Transformational speaker known as The Passion Mentor. Owner of The Passion School--where you can unwrap YOUR passion at any age. Yup, that's right, my expertise is PASSION. I travel worldwide on a mission to help others unwrap their passions at ANY age. No audience is too big or small--what matters is making an impact. I'm a Mindvalley Life Coach and Certified Passion Test Facilitator. Currently teaching "Finding Your Passion" at Rochester Institute of Technology. I especially love to speak about leading with passion. I've been involved in non-profit leadership for over 20 years. I also run Deaf Academy--an online space conducted using American Sign Language in which personal growth happens! www.deafacademyonline.com AND The Parent Circle for Families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children www.parentcircledeafhh.com.For fun, I walk on water. Really. I'm a barefoot water skier and I've been featured in Ability magazine, MORE magazine, espnW, CNN, TODAY Show, PBS Growing Bolder, AOL That's Fit, The Waterskier, Waterski magazine, Hearing Loss magazine, and Suburban Woman. A few years back, I received the Hot Momma Award for Sports, Wellness and Fitness and I'm also a HearStrong Champion. For one year, I appeared on Life Recharged with Olympians Dara Torres and Justin Gatlin. Another interesting thing about me: I’m deaf. I became deaf at the age of 19 from a fall while barefoot water skiing. I like to write. A lot. So I wrote some books: Unwrapping Your Passion, Creating the Life You Truly WantFor the Love of Dogs, A Deaf Woman's JourneyBanana George!
