SPEAKING

Speaker Bio: Monika’s Story

My Passion for Speaking

Ever since the first time I heard a powerful keynote speaker deliver his message, I’ve been intrigued by those who are brave enough to get up in front of a room and teach, inspire and motivate. There’s a certain power in the room when a speaker can bring an audience to laughter, tears or personal reflection.

In the course of my 20+ year professional career, I’ve been speaking and teaching about multi-state tax topics for many years. While that topic may not be high on inspiration, I’ve developed a knack for taking a difficult subject and making it understandable. And my technical presentations delve into why the topic is important to the listener and how the information provided can really help them.

Once I realized that I was teaching, inspiring and motivating my audience about technical tax matters, I wanted to become even better at it. In 2012, I graduated from the National Speaker’s Association’s year-long training program “Speaker’s Academy, to better hone my skillset!

I’ve had the honor to deliver presentations for some amazing organizations (AFWA, NAWBO, CalCPA, Avalara) as well as CPA firms, law firms, and on-line CPE platforms (like CPA Academy, Strafford, and the Knowledge Group). I even think there’s a TEDx talk inside me just waiting to get out. Stay tuned.  In the meantime, contact us if you need a speaker on state tax topics for your next conference on on-line gathering!
