Let’s face it: people are more likely to floss the day before their dentist appointment than schedule a cancer screening. But here’s the thing—your company probably offers you some of the best preventive care benefits around, and most of us ignore them like those terms and conditions we never read. Why? Life is busy, and sometimes it’s easier to Netflix and chill than “screen and stay alive.”

Employers, imagine this: You’re managing a team, and one of your top performers suddenly goes on extended leave due to late-stage cancer. Heartbreaking? Yes. Preventable? Often, also yes. Beyond the profound personal impact, these situations carry significant financial implications for organizations, affecting healthcare costs, productivity, and team dynamics.
​
By fostering a culture of prevention through proactive healthcare initiatives, employers can reduce these risks. Encouraging timely screenings, providing access to genetic testing, and promoting wellness programs not only support employees' health but also ensure a healthier, more resilient workforce. It's a smart investment in both people and organizational sustainability.

Whether it’s scheduling that overdue screening, exploring genetic testing, or making simple lifestyle adjustments, prevention equips you with the tools to rewrite your narrative.
​
The reality is, many diseases, including cancer, have early warning signs and risk factors we can act on. But the barriers are real: time, access, cost, and sometimes fear of the unknown. In this talk, you’ll learn how prevention can be simplified, how small actions today can lead to monumental outcomes tomorrow, and how to navigate the barriers with practical strategies and resources. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.

My
Story
As a 'previvor' with two genetic cancer mutations—Lynch Syndrome and CHEK2—and having undergone preventative surgeries, my mission is to empower others with the knowledge and tools to seize control of their own health.
​
I remember feeling utterly powerless when I first learned about my hereditary cancer mutations. The uncertainty, the lack of information, and the potential impact on my family and future left me overwhelmed. The reality of a life centered around frequent and sometimes invasive screenings seemed daunting, but I realized it was not insurmountable.
​
Contrary to the belief that being aware of a high risk diminishes life's joy, I hold a different perspective. I firmly believe that equipped with the right resources, we become remarkably resilient in the face of challenges like these.
​
While I dream of a world without hereditary cancer, the reality is different. So, why not arm people and their families with the information they need? By doing so, we can alleviate anxiety, empower proactive choices, and foster longer, healthier lives.
​
I invite you to join me on this journey of empowerment and proactive self-care. Let's stride forward together!
​
Many blessings,
