I provided a (60) minute presentation specifically for the University of Pittsburgh's Medical Center, "Triabetes Study." The University was trying to determine the effectiveness of two dominant bariatric surgery procedures versus an intensive lifestyle intervention to induce weight loss in patients and promote improvements in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in moderately obese patients.

They completed the pre-presentation questionnaire about 3 weeks prior to the presentation. I was then able to do reseach on the various types of surgical procedures so that I could use the correct terminology and was able to personalize the motivational presentation.

"His performance was funny, inspiring, uplifting, and relatable."
