My Story

In 5th grade I gave my first speech, and it got me elected class president!

When I finished that 5th-grade speech, I fell in love with public speaking. I use my professional communication experience, classical acting training, and academic background to transform you into an engaging and powerful speaker. I teach the art of communication from a holistic perspective. It is not just the words; it is the presentation, performance, and creation of an environment for presentation success.

Over the last 20 years, I trained and coached corporate executives, university presidents, and students for presentations, speeches, and media interviews. I utilize my proven presentation methodology and quantitative analysis tool to build your confidence and give you the techniques to conquer the fear of public speaking. 

My professional career includes 400+ public speeches at conferences, business meetings, and media interviews. I am an adjunct professor of public relations and communications. I am also a trained actor and former SAG-AFTRA member. My credentials are evidence I have the professional and academic experience to elevate your communication skills to the next level.

I love teaching, and I focus on client success. If you are not ready to do the work, I am not the coach for you. However, if you are prepared to put the ego aside, let the journey begin. You will get 100% of my passion to help you reach your goals.

I am honored you are considering me and my team at The Communications Academy as your public speaking and communication training team. Together we will build your confidence and prepare you for communication greatness. If you are ready, I am ready. LET’S GO!
