Communication & Public Speaking

As a communication coach, I bring a holistic approach to every session, recognizing that effective communication requires a delicate balance of empathy, clarity, audience awareness, and, most importantly, alignment with the speaker’s authentic voice. My process begins with active listening, ensuring I fully understand each client’s goals, challenges, and unique communication style. I continuously adapt my coaching methods to meet the specific needs of executives and leaders, focusing on skills like confident self-presentation, audience engagement, and adaptability. In my coaching, I emphasize measurable progress. Past clients have reported up to a 80% increase in confidence when speaking to groups, as well as stronger audience engagement and clearer message retention rates. Drawing from my extensive experience in training, public health, and community engagement, I offer a well-rounded perspective on communication that extends beyond words to truly embody empathy and vision. Whether it’s crafting a speech, leading a team, or navigating tough conversations, I equip clients with tools that foster growth, helping them communicate with a sense of purpose and confidence that resonates with any audience.

I am an autistic self-advocate and have first-hand experience with the pains of masking in the workplace. It's exhausting, right? Maybe you've known about your neurodiversity for a long time, or you got a formal diagnosis recently, or perhaps you've self-diagnosed yourself. One thing is true: It can be challenging to know how to advocate for yourself and get what you need in the workplace. I've been there and done that with companies big and small: Working with my managers to explain my needs, educate my team on my neurodiversity, and level up entire organizations about how to be more inclusive and equitable for neurodivergent folks. This can seem like a daunting task when people don't know the first thing about you. The good news is that I've got your back and can help take a telescope into your brain to figure out what's going on. What's going to make you successful? What's not working? And how can you articulate this to people at your job so they can have your back too? Let's work together on how to make you a kickass self-advocate!

I help professionals sharpen their communication and public speaking so they can clearly convey complex ideas, inspire confidence, and tell their story with impact. Whether you’re preparing for a keynote, stakeholder briefing, or pitching an article idea to your favorite outlet, I’ll help you build the narrative structure to deliver your message with authority. My career spans finance, the military, policy, government, social entrepreneurship, and technology. I’ve led high-stakes briefings for senior defense leaders, written and published policy and technology analysis across a dozen outlets, and was awarded the Navy League’s Alfred Thayer Mahan Literary Award for my writing in national security. From pitching at the Pentagon to presenting at technology conferences, I’ve seen how the right message, delivered with clarity and confidence, can open doors. If you want to strengthen your voice I’d love to set up an introductory call to help you refine your presence and maximize your impact.

A love and passion for storytelling and communication is the common thread that ties together my career that's spanned radio hosting, assistant directing in Bollywood, leading a global non-profit, heading up product innovation research for the Netflix Studio, and teaching UX design and product development at UCLA. I've pulled from the classic storytelling mechanics I learned back in film school and have applied them in completely different environments to tell powerful stories for business, social, and human impact. I coach students from all walks of life- from students trying to capture their purpose in higher education to career pivoters wayfinding their way through a new life narrative. Your story is the living legacy of your work in the universe. It's the thing people remember. I help make it count.
