WHO AM I?

I am a presentation coach & communication consultant. I help my clients discover what they want to say, then work with them to say it the way they want to say it. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and a Masters of Education in Training & Development. 

I was a selected speaker for TEDxGreensboro in 2013. In 2019 I served as a TEDx coach. I have been building and refining my communication theory into practice since 2016 (and before that, when I worked in Global Corporate Communications at an international transportation company). I put my communication theory into practice as the principal consultant & founder of Communication X. 

From my experience, study, and work, there  is not one exclusive, “correct” way to communicate. There are as many ways to present as there are speakers. The key is not to perform as a speaker, but to speak as yourself. The most compelling speakers are authentic ones - those who organize, deliver, and even gesture how they genuinely feel and operate.

I utilize this authenticity-focused coaching style in service of a diverse clientele with a range of speaking comfort and presentation needs. I coach entrepreneurs on their big pitches. I work with directors and senior executives on maximizing their communication effectiveness. I help managers focus their Zoom meeting facilitation.

I led presentation skills works shops for major corporations and community colleges, online presentation skills webinars for Google and Co//Ab Co-working, and prepared 40+ Duke University Baldwin Scholars for their interviews through one-on-one coaching sessions.
