## About

I'm a former national TV correspondent turned media trainer and PR strategist. I work with executives, founders, and organizations who need to communicate with clarity when stakes are high—whether it's major announcements, tough interviews, or pivotal media moments.

After years reporting for national audiences, I know what journalists listen for and what makes messages land. Today I help leadership teams sharpen messaging, prepare for broadcast and podcast interviews, and show up with confidence. I specialize in **media training**, **executive coaching**, and **keynote speaking preparation** to ensure leaders communicate effectively under pressure.
