She has presented to numerous groups including all local hospitals, The Commonwealth Club, YMCA and many more.
"Thank you both for speaking at the Commonwealth Club of California. You held everyone's attention the entire hour with the timeliness and engaging delivery of your message. It is a blessing for people to gain information about living with Alzheimer's from professionals instead of learning the 'hard way' -- in an emergency. It was obvious that the audience enjoyed your talk as evidenced by how many remained after the Q&A session to compliment you. Thanks again for addressing the Grownups Forum of the Commonwealth Club of California."
-- John W. Milford, Executive Director, San Francisco Towers
