Public Speaking Samples

The following is a collection of speeches/presentations I have written and given. One of the many hats I have worn at HCISD is as a public speaking coach and as a presentation/speech writer.

HCISD Bond Initiative Update

Feb. 21, 2011

Bond Initiative Update -- February 2011 on Prezi

Nearly one year after HCISD $98.6 million bond initiative in May 2010, there were still several questions regarding some of the new facility projects, specifically the opening of a Ninth Grade Academy.  This presentation was designed for any member of the HCISD Board of Trustees or Superintendent Staff to give.

Arturo Cavazos, Deputy Superintendent for HCISD, gave a stellar presentation to a professional group of female teachers. I put the presentation together, researched his talking points and prepared answers to Frequently Asked Questions, covered at the end of the presentation.
