As a former law professor, economics professor, and federal consumer protection economist, I’m honored to present and speak about disrupting racial and gender discrimination, decision-making, happiness, economics of prejudice, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, law and economics, leadership, loneliness, burnout, stress, and mindfulness. I’ll be happy to engage, enlighten, and empower audiences with the wealth of expertise, insights, and perspectives I’ve developed throughout almost five decades in academia.
