As a Public Speaker with the Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga (TST) BOCES, I delivered presentations and talks at a variety of educational events and conferences, providing valuable insights and engaging discussions on topics related to alternative education and community learning. I presented at multiple conferences, including those hosted by the New York State Alternative Education Association, Genesee Boards of Cooperative Educational Services, and Binghamton University’s Education School. These events attracted educators, administrators, and community leaders, offering a platform for me to share knowledge, inspire collaboration, and foster a deeper understanding of alternative education programs and community-centered learning approaches.
During my time at TST BOCES, I had the opportunity to engage with diverse audiences, from school faculty and administrative teams to parents and students. I focused on delivering content that not only informed but also motivated attendees to think critically about alternative education methods, providing actionable strategies for implementing change in their own communities. My ability to convey complex topics in an accessible and engaging manner was a key aspect of my role.
In addition to public speaking, I also worked closely with TST BOCES and community school faculty, offering guidance and facilitating discussions aimed at improving educational outcomes. This role allowed me to sharpen my communication skills and develop a deep understanding of educational challenges, particularly within alternative learning environments.
