Speaking & Press
Talking honestly about caregiving.
Samantha is open to speaking at healthcare and senior-living events, professional associations, and community groups about the practical, administrative, and emotional reality of stepping into a caregiving role.
Samantha has been speaking at conferences and events since 2018, following her work on the Metro Vancouver Restaurant Labour Shortage Report and Recommendations. In addition to in-person and Zoom events for foodservice and hospitality industry professionals of up to 500 people, the study’s success led to her being invited as a featured speaker at healthcare and senior-living industry conferences in Victoria, Vancouver, and Toronto.
Talks pair lived experience with concrete tools, and skip the usual feel-good generalities. Audiences leave with language they can use the next day.
