I’m truly honored to share that I’ve been selected to deliver the Closing Keynote Address at the 2026 Paving the Way Conference, October 6–7 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
This opportunity is especially meaningful because the work is centered on something I’ve dedicated much of my career to: advancing educational stability, opportunity, and support for students experiencing homelessness and young people in foster care.
For me, this is more than another speaking engagement. It is an opportunity to challenge, encourage, and inspire the educators, advocates, leaders, and professionals who show up every day for students who too often go unseen.
I’m looking forward to closing the conference with a message that reminds us that our work matters, our advocacy matters, and most importantly—every student matters.
Inspiring Paths. Empowering Futures. Together.
See you in Lancaster!
