"I love consulting, coaching, and teaching! But, I especially like working with people who need help in communication. I have had the honor of supporting hundreds of students and professionals with interviews, public speaking, marketing/sales presentations, college/grad school admissions, interviews, personal statements, and more.

I have coached many professionals and students through interviews and personal statements for admission to middle school, high school, college, and grad school, as well as medical residency. I ran the public speaking lab at Pepperdine for a year. I enjoy coaching communication skills of all kinds--public speaking, interviewing skills, and even interpersonal communication situations (difficult conversations, salary negotiation, etc.). I have coached English as a second language professionals and students in speaking and writing in work, professional, and personal settings. Finally, I can assist with college admissions as I worked in the admissions office at Pepperdine and DeVry University and coached students at Kaplan Test Prep.

To help you know me a little better, here is some background information. In high school, I was the salutatorian of my graduating class and a National Merit Scholar. I also participated in speech and debate, theater, and math and science competitions. I then went to Pepperdine University and earned a BA in Religion. My coursework covered the liberal arts and theology, New Testament, Old Testament, and Greek. I studied Master's level coursework in Communication at The University of Oklahoma and Pepperdine University. My studies included Rhetoric, Interpersonal Communication, Cross-Cultural Communication, Organizational Communication, and Crisis Communication. Finally, I completed my MBA with coursework in Accounting, Finance, Operations, Marketing, and more. I have worked as an administrator in education organizations for over twenty years and have focused on creating supportive academic spaces and growing enrollment for schools." less...
