At the Risk & Insurance Education Alliance, I don’t just teach disaster management and business continuity—I turn it into an empowering journey that equips professionals with the confidence to tackle any challenge. Imagine a class where real-world experience meets a passion for teaching, and complex concepts become accessible and downright engaging!As a Ruble Lecturer, I explore the complexities of disaster management and business continuity, breaking down advanced topics into relatable, practical insights that professionals can use to lead confidently. It’s all about making sure the learning sticks and that it’s an enjoyable journey.I am also an official instructor for the Certified Risk Management Program. But my lectures aren’t your typical, dry presentations. I bring best practices in emergency management to life with real-world examples and a dash of humor, ensuring that every professional leaves the room equipped with the latest strategies and a smile.When it comes to webinars, I keep things incredibly up-to-date and relevant. From IT disaster recovery to the impacts on the risk field, I host custom sessions that feel more like a conversation than a lecture, ensuring participants walk away with actionable knowledge and maybe even a few laughs.Designing a disaster program from scratch? No problem. I guide insurance agencies through the process, sharing proven strategies and practical steps to build robust preparedness plans. And I ensure it’s an experience they’ll remember—because learning should never be boring!By blending theory with real-world application, I create a learning environment that is as dynamic and energetic as the industry itself. Together, we’re not just preparing for disruptions—we’re turning them into opportunities for growth and innovation, while having a little fun along the way.
