Being an effective communicator is a life skill that every person should have. Whether you are giving a formal presentation, interviewing for a job, or interacting with a co-worker, each individual should be able to share their ideas with others in a clear and engaging way. Using my expertise as a professional actor, I show others how to command a room, use effective body language, and utilize their voice. I lead group workshops and coach individuals on presentation skills, interview techniques, and interpersonal communications. I have taught over fifty courses, certificate programs and workshops on communication skills at various universities including UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara and University of Arizona. Teaching researchers how to communicate with the public is one of my specialties. I also work privately with companies to help them prepare for presentations at large meetings and keynotes. I enjoy helping others find their voice, tell their story, and connect with their audience.
