Bonnie is an energetic speaker who inspires people to move beyond their limitations. In sharing her personal experiences, she captures audiences by her sincerity, expression, and passion offering inspirational wisdom. Her goal is to reach out to youth and the adults who nurture them with her stories, humor, and love for even the toughest kids. As a professional speaker, Bonnie draws from years of experience working with youth and young adults and shares practical guidance with a “been there, done that” approach.

Struggling to overcome several challenging obstacles in her childhood by fifth grade, Bonnie started acting out and was expelled from school.  Two years later problems at home resulted in Bonnie being sent to a group home for girls.  She felt condemned being labeled a “bad kid” and continued traveling down the wrong path using alcohol and drugs. In a desperate attempt to turn her life around, a revelation occurred that inspired her to make solid choices in a positive direction.  She now serves as a Youth Minister. Other positive choices Bonnie has made since then:  she recently earned a Master’s degree in Education Administration and currently owns two small businesses.
