I've led design initiatives that impact thousands globally. In doing so, I’ve had to navigate constant stakeholder management across diverse cultures. Through this, I’ve honed clear, effective communication skills that have elevated my design work. My experience spans tech companies of all sizes—I've been the solo designer at a 7-person startup (later acquired by Datadog), one of four designers at a 100-person startup searching for product-market fit, and part of a growing design team in a 6,000-person scale-up preparing for IPO (from 20 to now 60 designers). This journey has equipped me with the ability to translate complex ideas, insights, and opportunities into well-structured projects that secure buy-in from even the most challenging stakeholders—across cultures, time zones, and remote settings. Now, I leverage this skill to help product designers enhance their communication strategies. Whether you're looking to improve professional interactions or refine your presentation skills, I’m here to guide you. Let’s connect and take your communication to the next level!

I founded TalkMaze, a public speaking and education platform that grew to 20,000 members, 4 million video views, and over 5,000 participants across North America. I've delivered 4 TEDx talks, won the national Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, and received the Princess Diana Award for my work in youth education. I've spent years helping people go from terrified of speaking to confident on stage. Whether you're preparing for a presentation, a conference talk, a panel, or just want to stop dreading every meeting where you have to speak up, I help you structure your ideas, find your voice, and deliver with confidence. I grew up shy, and public speaking changed the trajectory of my life. I coach because I've seen it do the same for thousands of others.

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.

Throughout my career, I’ve spoken to audiences of over a thousand and coached clients preparing for interviews, panels, and presentations. I know how important it is to not just communicate clearly, but to communicate in a way that’s memorable and impactful. I've trained staff to become more confident and effective public speakers, equipping them with practical skills to engage audiences and share their stories with ease. As an ICF-Certified Coach, I help clients build confidence in their voice. Whether you’re preparing for a major presentation, looking to improve everyday communication, or simply want to feel more comfortable speaking up, we'll work together to build the strategies you need to own the room with confidence.

My experience includes consulting on high-visibility work with Google, Nestlé, Loblaw, Spin Master, Gildan Activewear, XPRIZE Foundation, and more. I've co-authored a white paper with Google on plastics circularity, published a technical paper in the Oxford Academic Journal on the economic evaluation of CO₂ derived materials, and was interviewed as a thought leader for one of Canada’s grocery industry magazines. Educated as an engineer and trained in coaching & facilitation, I've spent 10 years working in strategy consulting and corporate sustainability, spending >100 hours in executive leadership and Board rooms, facilitating discussions and decisions on corporate strategies for multinational companies. A few client testimonials from C-suite and executive leaders can be found on my LinkedIn.
