Speaking

Looking for a dynamic speaker for your next event?

I help mission-driven teams and leaders navigate change through strategy, systems, and storytelling.

As a speaker and digital strategist, I explore how technology, data, and creative leadership can help organizations work smarter, not harder — and design systems that make impact sustainable. My keynotes and workshops combine real-world examples with actionable tools that empower participants to lead with clarity, confidence, and curiosity.

I’ve spoken to audiences ranging from nonprofit executives and educators to creative entrepreneurs and emerging leaders.

Whether I’m teaching AI literacy, sharing frameworks for digital transformation, or helping teams rethink their operational habits, my goal is the same: to inspire people to build smarter, more human systems for change.

If you’re looking for an engaging speaker who bridges strategy and creativity, let’s talk about bringing one of my sessions to your next event.

Speaking Topics

Workshops & Facilitation

AI Literacy for Mission-Driven Teams

AI isn’t just for tech companies — it’s a new layer of organizational capacity. In this session, Noelia breaks down what AI literacy means for nonprofits, foundations, and social enterprises, helping teams understand the tools, ethics, and opportunities behind responsible implementation. Participants leave with a clear framework for using AI to enhance human creativity and mission delivery — not replace it.

AI Governance & Ethical Implementation

As organizations adopt AI, governance becomes the real differentiator between innovation and risk. This workshop helps leaders establish policies, principles, and practices that align AI use with their mission and values. We explore case studies, equity implications, and practical governance models designed for mission-driven organizations.

Personal Branding

Create a personal brand strategy to increase your influence and impact. We’ll cover how to communicate your values authentically, develop your visibility roadmap, and connect your work to a larger story of change.

Team Workshop Facilitation

Tailored team workshops that foster clarity, collaboration, and alignment. We focus on communication, problem-solving, and shared accountability — creating the conditions for productive, creative teams.
