"I’m an award-winning college professor with over ten years of experience teaching public speaking, communication, and public relations. I hold a Doctorate in Education with a concentration in Communication and certificates in persuasion, conflict resolution, and divorce mediation.

I’ve taught students from high school to doctoral programs, helping them master clear speech organization, confident delivery, and effective audience connection. My sessions are practical and focused on results—students leave with tools they can actually use, not abstract theory.

I’ve taught in classrooms, led small group workshops, and worked one-on-one with professionals across education and media. Earlier in my career, I founded and coached a competitive college speech team that earned national honors in its first year. I also stay current on research about interpersonal affect, influence, and communication strategy, bringing new insights to every session.

Today, I serve as the Director of Communication for Will County Regional Schools, managing media relations, messaging, and district outreach for over 34 districts, 169 schools, and 100,000 students.

If you want to strengthen your confidence, write and speak with intention, and learn how to truly reach an audience, I’ll help you get there through honest feedback and real-world application." less...
