Communication & Public Speaking Coaches

Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in strategic communications and public relations, I bring a wealth of experience from leading roles at The Home Depot, Pretium, and the NFL. My expertise lies in crafting compelling narratives and executing high-impact media strategies, including managing major sponsorships like the FIFA World Cup and orchestrating executive communications for NFL leadership. I have a proven track record of enhancing brand presence and driving engagement through innovative digital strategies and media campaigns. Whether you're looking to refine your communication skills or develop a strategic PR plan, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and elevate your communication strategy together!

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.

As a Finance Program Manager at Google and career coach, I've delivered 100+ workshops and presentations that help professionals communicate complex ideas with clarity, structure, and impact. I’ve worked with individuals and teams ranging from students to senior leaders, focusing on practical frameworks that improve storytelling, executive presence, and audience engagement across high-stakes settings. My approach is grounded in real-world application. I regularly present on process improvements, lead discussions with cross-functional stakeholders, and translate complex concepts, such as AI and operational strategy, into clear, compelling narratives. I also mentor colleagues on how to structure their messaging, build confidence, and communicate more effectively in meetings, presentations, and interviews. Beyond day-to-day work, I’ve developed and refined communication strategies that enhance everything from slide deck development to stakeholder alignment. Whether it’s simplifying technical content, crafting persuasive narratives, or delivering with confidence, my focus is on helping others communicate in a way that drives action and results.

10+ years of public speaking at conferences and on webinars and coaching students in the art of communications and public speaking. 10 years of training students to present and lead in small and large groups with confidence and poise. It's not just picturing your audience in their underwear, it's doing it with style and vibes that get them hanging on every word you're about to say. Working in Student Affairs for nearly 10 years, I coached college students of all levels in leading small teams of 5-or-fewer people, and large trainings of 20-or more. And it wasn't just about having a loud voice, or holding eye contact (both of which can work), it was about what they said AND about how it was said. It was knowing the audience, knowing the material and knowing how to deliver it in a way that made an impact. I'll walk you through how to do this, whether your a college student, an entry level professional or a seasoned pro that just hates getting in front of your colleagues to lead a presentation. It may not become your favorite thing to do, but together we'll make sure it's, at the least, less terrible and, if we're really lucky, something that you can actually enjoy.

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.

12 years as marketing director, pitching product launch and campaign to executives, agencies and wide audiences. Public speaker (LOW Key Note - Stanford GSB TED equivalent) Pitch Deck Wizard for SMEs and entrepreneurs Graphic designer skills and advisor for several start ups in the US, Europe and Africa

I have provided communications and speechwriting support to federal elected officials and c-suite executives.

I work with professionals who already perform at a high level. What brings them to me is the sense that something important is getting lost in translation, culturally as much as linguistically. 100% of my clients report improved workplace communication and I have trained over 20 nationalities. We start with what is real and current: a board presentation, a difficult email thread, a team that feels "off." You leave able to say what you mean and have it land. I have done this with clients at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. Before that, I ran global content at On through its IPO. If your work depends on people in different places understanding you clearly, book a session.

I help professionals sharpen their communication and public speaking so they can clearly convey complex ideas, inspire confidence, and tell their story with impact. Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, stakeholder briefing, or pitching an article idea to your favorite outlet, I’ll help you build the narrative structure to deliver your message with authority. My career spans finance, the military, policy, government, social entrepreneurship, and technology. I’ve led high-stakes briefings for senior defense leaders, written and published policy and technology analysis across a dozen outlets, and was awarded the Navy League’s Alfred Thayer Mahan Literary Award for my writing in national security. From pitching at the Pentagon to presenting at technology conferences, I’ve seen how the right message, delivered with clarity and confidence, can open doors. If you want to strengthen your voice I’d love to set up an introductory call to help you refine your presence and maximize your impact.

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.
