Twenty years of acting and studying performance has given me the ability to transform superior performance techniques to business professionals from all fields. I received my Masters degree in acting from The National Theater Conservatory at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and graduated from Middlebury College.

I began doing this work because, as a college student, I was terrified to even raise my hand in class, let alone voice a challenging opinion. I was paralyzed by fear, and I let it get in my way of my achievements and of the opportunity to enjoy being seen and heard.

Now, every year in January I teach a month-long, intensive course at Middlebury College, my alma mater. I teach students how to stand up in front of an audience and speak their mind without fear and with a presence of calm and confidence. It is so gratifying for me to give the students the tools that I didn't have when I was in their position. As I see students breathe deeper, stand up straighter, and begin to look each other in the eye during my course, I know that I am gently but powerfully changing their lives.

I have also had a long road of personal development. My parents gave me the greatest life gift by enrolling me in personal growth workshops at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California when I was 18. From there I studied dream work, coaching, enneagram, psychodrama, self expression and gestalt therapy on my own for the next twenty years.

In my public speaking and communication coaching, I blend my two passions of performance and personal development to bing you a wholistic communication coaching journey.

As you know, communication is everything.

Whether you are a entrepreneur pitching an idea for a startup, a lawyer arguing to win a case, or a leader trying to rise to the next level, public speaking training can help you achieve your goals of communicating your best self.

As a coach, I teach you the tools of mindset, structure, and delivery techniques that can guarantee your success.

As a mentor, I help you to stop sabotaging yourself and set up new, beneficial habits.

From our very first session, you will learn practical skills that you can put to work immediately. Within our first few sessions you will see (and feel) dramatic results. I am absolutely passionate about what I do. I find my joy by seeing you rise to your potential. Our sessions are powerful, effective, actionable and fun. I meet with clients in the San Francisco Bay Area and work with people remotely from all over the world.

I look forward to beginning our journey together!
