Biography:
Nominated for a third time as speaker of the year by Campus Activities Magazine and presented at the 2006 National Bacchus General Assembly, the two-person program "Sex Signals" provides a provocative look at the issues of dating, sex, and ultimately non-stranger rape on college campuses. Blending a unique combination of improvisational comedy, audience interaction, and facilitated dialogue, the presentation strikes a balance between laughing at the differences between men and women while communicating serious messages about consent.
