In the news & on stage

I’ve had the extreme honor of being quoted in hundreds of news articles, podcasts and magazines. See a nearly-comprehensive list of media coverage around me, The Drone Girl, below.

And, it’s been a privilege to meet fans in real life, having been invited to speak at many drone conferences and other events around the world. If you’re interested in either talking to me for a news story or having me attend your event, please contact me here.
