I believe that “Our desire to fly must be bigger than our fear of falling.” As a blind motivational speaker, I face fear daily... and every day, I am given the chance to trust God, fulfill my purpose, and see the beauty in all that is. Alignment, attitude, and action are my keys to success.I’m an acclaimed international motivational speaker, trainer on blindness education, and prolific author. Soaring into Greatness, a Blind Woman’s Vision to Live her Dreams and Fly relays my story of perseverance and passion. Being totally blind, I have observed that many people allow their fears, negativities, and self-blinding beliefs to stop them from experiencing life to the fullest. This is not the case with me. I motivate, facilitate, educate, and exhilarate my audiences, unlike any other presenter, … to fully open their eyes and change the way they see and change the way they live. I have received two Master’s degrees (Music and Psychology), sung leading roles in two major opera productions La Boheme, and La Traviata, and was crowned Ms. Colorado Senior America and 4th-runner up in the national MSA pageant. My soaring spirit has led me to build my former Habitat for Humanity home, to climb the historic 75-story Sydney Harbor Bridge, and to partner with seven spectacular Seeing Eye dogs; latest, Ava. My astounding experiences, immense knowledge and unparalleled determination have inspired thousands to live lives of vision, purpose, and action. I believe all things are possible and everyone can live an unstoppable, unforgettable, and unbelievable life!
