About me.
With two decades experience performing on the United States’ most celebrated stages, I bring my love of communication and connection to the world of public speaking. My work as a presentation coach combines my rigorous performance training with cognitive science, helping speakers to unlock the power of their own voices.
I have taught public speaking for a broad range of organizations including the Write/Speak/Code conference for women in tech, Pivotal Labs and the Village Zendo in NYC. I work regularly with the Python Software Foundation to train speakers for regional conferences and am a national trainer for New Leaders Council.
As as singer, I have been called an “expert raconteur” by Opera News and praised by the New York Times for an “appealing amber mezzo.” I have performed in venues of every size from the Metropolitan Opera and Washington National Cathedral to living rooms and speakeasies.

Whether you’re preparing for a specific event or developing your skills for the future, I can help you get to the next level.
