speaking.
Over the past few years, I have cultivated a deep passion for public speaking, specializing as a skilled moderator and panelist. I am dedicated to delivering conversations that go beyond offering valuable insights and knowledge; my goal is to leave a lasting impact on each attendee.
With a focus on fostering an interactive environment, I aim to inspire individuals to think critically, initiate meaningful discussions, and take actionable steps towards positive change in the realm of mental health & wellness.
My ultimate objective is to ensure that every audience member not only gains valuable information but walks away with a renewed sense of motivation and empowerment to navigate their mental health journey with resilience and strength.
I am deeply passionate about mental health advocacy and personal development. I look forward to engaging with audiences to break the stigma surrounding mental health, fostering open conversations, and promoting well-being.

I was grateful to connect with Jessica McDevitt on Clubhouse during the pandemic because of her advocacy for mental health in music. We recently had her moderate a very important conversation focused on mental health at our annual conference. It was the most impactful panel given the topics she covered and the relatable stories shared from panelists. We're looking forward to collaborating with her more in 2024.

I have worked with Jess in several capacities where she participated in our events and I can truly say she is an incredibly dedicated moderator, facilitator, and panelist. Her attention to detail in preparing and running a conversation is unmatched – especially as she sets an intention before starting the discussion. Clear, succinct, and exceptional are words I would use to describe her speaking style.

Jessica not only knows how to manage multiple speakers on stage, ensuring each is given an opportunity to share their expertise, she is highly skilled at keeping the conversations focused and valuable for the audience, ensuring it doesn't become a series of monologues. Jessica injects compassion, equity, and genuine curiosity in all she does, resulting in engaged and entertaining content. As a public speaker for the last 8+ years, I can confidently say she's one of the top moderators I've had the pleasure to share the stage with and I hope to do it again soon.

Jessica's ability to lead a conversation and get people to open up authentically is second to none. She isn't afraid of digging deep into discussions and ensures the audience gets effective call-to-action items that aren't just talking points...but challenges that each person can take and practically run with.
