Communication & Public Speaking Coaches, Events, and Resources

Having presented my over 50 medical research works at nearly 30 national medical conferences, I have learned through experience how to hold my own and captivate an audience while presenting complex topics on stages small and large. It is my honor to pay this experience and knowledge forward and share with you my best tips, tricks, and strategies for giving successful presentations for audiences of all sizes. I look forward to helping you succeed!

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.

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.
