A little about me

I’ve been speaking to audiences professionally since 1999, but my love of speaking dates all the way back to my high school speech class. After some time dedicated solely to raising my kids, I reentered the workforce as a ghostwriter and editor in 2011. Eventually, I combined all of those skillsets and began training public speakers. As a coach and trainer, I help my clients shape their content and refine their delivery to ensure they communicate their ideas as best they can.

 

When I’m not coaching someone else to deliver their best talk, I still very much enjoy sharing with audiences myself. As a whole person—with both personal and professional interests—I speak on a variety of topics. I’m often tapped to equip groups with public speaking tips, but other times I’m on stage to to speak on faith-related matters.

 

I’d love to hear from you. Shoot me a line so we can get better acquainted and determine how I can be of help to you.
