In Virginia and the surrounding areas, at a minimum my charge is $450 / day plus mileage reimbursement.  Outside of Virginia, I charge (at a minimum) $450 / day (including travel days), plus travel reimbursement and a daily per diem for incidentals.  If this event is related to law enforcement training or a related event, please contact Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) AMBER Alert to request me as a speaker.

Yes.  As a consultant for Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC)’s AMBER Alert program, I can speak to law enforcement regarding my personal story and training programs offered by FVTC AMBER Alert.  Please fill out this form to request me as a speaker; the “technical assistance” you are requesting is my attendance as a speaker.  Just mention my name, answer all questions the best that you can, and a representative will contact you.  It may take some time for them to respond, so please be patient.  Thank you.

As awareness of human trafficking spreads across America, the interest in hearing personal stories of survival is rising.  Before you agree to share your story, however, I encourage you to connect with a survivor network for advice, support, and guidance.  When you are ready, below are some advice and resources for speaking out:
