• Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious! Along with this her life experiences and talent make her a top candidate for your speaking engagement. I would be happy to communicate with you at any time regarding my sincere recommendation of Ann Marie. I know your audience will walk away energized and inspired. Chuck Carmen, Executive Director at Epilepsy Association of Central Florida, Inc. Orlando, Florida

• Ann speaks from the heart! Her personal experience has given her an awareness that is often unmatched and has helped her navigate a very complex journey. When working with Ann, we discovered a passionate and sincere woman who wanted nothing more than to be helpful and giving. Gary Collins, Toronto, Ontario, Epilepsy Canada

• I had the privilege of welcoming Ann to our grade 9 health class to give a presentation on Epilepsy and her own personal journey. This was an incredible addition to our health unit as it is something that wouldn't typically be covered in our curriculum, but very beneficial to our students. Ann is very comfortable and confident speaking to a group of teenagers, constantly encouraging student engagement and creating positive interactions. Ann presents her journey and diagnosis to the students in a way that made them feel as though they could ask her anything, students took a genuine interest in the topic. Jenaya Whalen Duffi eld School, Alberta, Canada Grade 8-9 Teacher

• Don't let epilepsy take control of you. Epilepsy is not easy but Ann Marie O’Connor is a survivor of epilepsy, she taught me that I should never give up on anything in life - Ann O’Connor did not give up! Ashlyn
