With over 25 years as a global leader and Leadership Coach, I’ve helped hundreds of corporate professionals master high-stakes communication, elevate executive presence, and drive influence. Trusted by leaders at LinkedIn (a Microsoft company), Gilead Sciences, Databricks, T-Systems, and other Fortune 500 firms, I specialize in helping emerging leaders confidently navigate complex organizational dynamics and amplify their voices in key decision-making moments. Whether it’s delivering impactful presentations, managing stakeholder relationships, or driving team alignment, I create practical strategies tailored to each individual’s unique goals. In addition to being certified in Hogan assessments, I’m one of a select group of certification facilitators for Ray Dalio’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘠𝘰𝘶, a premier assessment and coaching tool designed to enhance self-awareness and leadership effectiveness. I’m also the author of 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬, which helps leaders develop clarity, confidence, and trust in critical moments. My blend of empathetic guidance and actionable feedback equips leaders with the tools to overcome communication challenges and create lasting organizational impact.

When I got my degree in Communication Studies, I didn't know how it was going to apply in the future -- but almost 15 years later, I've learned, everything is communication! We can always improve our communication style, learn how to be more effective communicators, and grow our confidence in presentation skills, public speaking, and interpersonal dynamics. I work with clients to help them evaluate their communication barriers and develop a clear communication style, both in written and verbal forms.

As a seasoned Communication Coach, I specialize in helping individuals master the art of clear, impactful, and persuasive communication, whether in high-stakes presentations, leadership roles, or day-to-day professional interactions. With a deep understanding of emotional intelligence, active listening, and conflict resolution, I guide clients in bridging communication gaps and enhancing their ability to convey ideas effectively. My coaching empowers professionals to build stronger relationships, inspire trust, and foster collaboration within their teams. By focusing on both verbal and non-verbal communication skills, I help clients develop a confident leadership presence and the ability to navigate difficult conversations with poise and empathy. Whether coaching executives, sales professionals, or emerging leaders, I provide the tools needed to communicate with clarity, influence, and authenticity.

I went from someone who spent years believing my voice didn't matter to writing a memoir and speaking publicly about the most vulnerable parts of my story. This journey taught me that powerful communication isn't about having a perfect message—it's about having the courage to share your authentic truth and connect with others through your experiences. I help clients discover that their struggles, their neurodivergence, and their unique perspectives aren't obstacles to overcome in public speaking—they're exactly what makes their voice distinctive and necessary.

Throughout my 10+ years in Big Tech, from Software Engineer to Senior PM and Coach at Microsoft, I've seen firsthand how critical strong communication is. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it. I’ve helped people who were nervous about presentations, unsure how to get their ideas across in meetings, or struggling to connect with their audience. My own journey involved learning to present complex technical ideas clearly and persuasively to executives, peers, and customers. I’ve taken those lessons and combined them with my coaching experience to help you: - Speak with clarity and confidence: We'll work on structuring your thoughts, refining your message, and delivering it in a way that feels natural and engaging. - Conquer public speaking anxiety: I’ll share practical techniques that have worked for me and many others to help you feel more comfortable and in control, whether you're speaking to a small group or a large audience. - Tailor your communication: Learn to adapt your style for different situations, from team updates and one-on-one conversations to formal presentations and interviews. If you're ready to improve how you communicate, present your ideas more effectively, and lead with greater impact, I'm here to help you find your voice and make it count.
