Welcome to my profile! With a dual degree from Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in strategic communication and leadership. As a Consultant at The Bridgespan Group, I have honed my skills in delivering high-impact consulting services, including strategic planning and message development, to both non-profit and for-profit organizations. My experience as a Transportation and Infrastructure Director in the U.S. House of Representatives further solidified my ability to cultivate strategic partnerships and communicate effectively across diverse audiences. Whether you're looking to refine your communication skills or develop a comprehensive strategy for your organization, I'm here to help you achieve your goals. Let's connect and explore how I can support your journey!

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.

Hey there! The biggest pitfall I find people run into with public speaking is that they fall into boring cliches. Let me help you avoid that by making sure ever sentence you say is, if not profound, at least fun and exciting! I've had the absolute honor of helping scores of leaders prepare for a wide range of public speaking and publicly-release writing events. It has been the absolute thrill of my life! Personal storytelling, best man's speech, introductions, valedictorian speeches, stand-up sets, professional memos... I've had the honor of doing them all. So I'm here to help you out with whatever public speaking challenge you're about to confront! A bit about me: my career has been as diverse as an office-bound career can be: management consulting, social impact, public policy, product management, and venture capital. I bring a wealth of experience to help understand your context. Some notable public speaking I've been able to do: I've been a coach for Stanford's legendary TALK program, in which classmates give a 30-minute story about their life in front of an audience of 250+; I gave my college commencement speech; I've performed dozens of stand-up and emcee routines in front of crowds of 400+. Whether friends want me to or not, I keep talking!

From media interviews and keynote stages to performance reviews and 1:1s, I’ve spent my career helping people communicate with clarity and confidence. I coach professionals to find their authentic voice, tell better stories, and show up with presence—especially in high-stakes moments like interviews, presentations, and conflict conversations. Communication is a craft, and I help you sharpen it while staying true to yourself.

10+ years of public speaking at conferences and on webinars and coaching students in the art of communications and public speaking. 10 years of training students to present and lead in small and large groups with confidence and poise. It's not just picturing your audience in their underwear, it's doing it with style and vibes that get them hanging on every word you're about to say. Working in Student Affairs for nearly 10 years, I coached college students of all levels in leading small teams of 5-or-fewer people, and large trainings of 20-or more. And it wasn't just about having a loud voice, or holding eye contact (both of which can work), it was about what they said AND about how it was said. It was knowing the audience, knowing the material and knowing how to deliver it in a way that made an impact. I'll walk you through how to do this, whether your a college student, an entry level professional or a seasoned pro that just hates getting in front of your colleagues to lead a presentation. It may not become your favorite thing to do, but together we'll make sure it's, at the least, less terrible and, if we're really lucky, something that you can actually enjoy.

Welcome to my profile! With an MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business and an Executive Coaching Certification from Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, I specialize in communication coaching to help clients communicate with clarity, influence, and credibility. Whether you’re working on executive presence, presentation skills, written communication, or how you show up in meetings and one-on-ones, I’m here to help you communicate successfully with confidence. If this resonates, I’d love to work with you.

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.

When I got my degree in Communication Studies, I didn't know how it was going to apply in the future -- but almost 15 years later, I've learned, everything is communication! We can always improve our communication style, learn how to be more effective communicators, and grow our confidence in presentation skills, public speaking, and interpersonal dynamics. I work with clients to help them evaluate their communication barriers and develop a clear communication style, both in written and verbal forms.

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!
