We all know that speaking in public can be challenging, yet it’s an indispensable facet of professional life. Whether you’re a TV writer pitching to networks, a start-up CEO engaging with venture capitalists, an executive leading a team, or a new hire addressing an all-hands meeting, the desire to exude confidence in the spotlight is universal. That’s where I come in.
With a diverse background as an actor, improviser, journalist, and acting coach, I bring more than 15 years of experience in empowering individuals across various professions to speak publicly in a way that feels genuine and helps them achieve their goals.
Whether we meet in person or on Zoom, my sessions are personalized to suit your specific needs. We’ll enhance your overall performance skills through engaging acting and improv exercises, and attune your vocal tone, physicality, and stage presence so you can “command the room.”
Together we can craft a pitch from scratch or fine-tune an existing presentation by exploring questions like: What do you really want to say? How can you speak more clearly and persuasively? Can you add humor?
I’ve successfully worked with a wide range of clients, including prominent companies such as Deloitte, Google Arts Initiative, MIT AI Lab, Use All Five, CPA Academy, Thematic, Museum of Modern Art, and Silencio. I pride myself on being approachable and enjoyable to work with, and I guarantee that we will elevate your comfort, confidence, and enthusiasm for public speaking.
