Rebecca is a very passionate person who speaks from the heart. She’s not afraid to tackle difficult questions many of us ponder and she can capture the attention of an audience because she’s relatable. Rebecca can create synergy very quickly in a room of individuals who are open to ideas. Her approach is energetic, authentic and futuristic, while respecting the past and what has been laid as the foundation by others.

Educating about what’s possible and approaches of how to get there are key assets Rebecca demonstrates while speaking. Rebecca’s willingness to step outside of her comfort zone to help others see possibilities in their own lives and their communities is commendable.
