Hire the Best Public Speakers in New Jersey

I am an accomplished public speaker, emcee, host & former television journalist. I have experience and expertise working in communications, public relations and journalism spanning a 20+ year career. I started my career working as a political press secretary on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. and have worked for a global public relations firm, as a journalist for several television stations in North & South Carolina (ABC, NBC and FOX), in corporate communications for the luxury automotive company Mercedes-Benz USA, as a principal of my own public relations consulting business in the New York Metro area, and currently as director of communications for a well-known nonprofit in the NYC metro area. I am passionate about helping people overcome their fears with public speaking and media interviews, as well as work on techniques such as delivery, pacing, diction and polishing one’s final presentation. For media interviews, I conduct mock interviews and prepare you for any type of media interview: taped, live, online, in person for TV, print, radio & podcasts. I have conducted speech and media coaching sessions 1:1 and in group settings with C-suite executives, physicians, college and graduate students, and those just entering the workforce, as well as non-native English speakers. I am personable, accessible & easy to work with and can offer decades of professional experience whether it’s on camera or before a large audience. Happy to chat first on a call!

There comes a point where working harder, pushing through, or reading more books doesn’t move the needle. You’re not stuck because you’re not capable — you’re stuck because something deeper is blocking your progress. That’s where I come in. I help individuals and teams uncover and remove what’s really holding them back — the blind spots, hidden fears, outdated stories, and mental roadblocks they couldn’t see (or move past) on their own. My own journey taught me this firsthand. I started in high-pressure sales at Yelp in NYC, taught in Vietnam, and organized and hosted TEDx events that brought together big thinkers and change-makers. Along the way, a serious health wake-up call pushed me to stop, reflect, and do the deep work. Today, that’s what I guide others through — with tools that create real, lasting breakthroughs, not just surface-level insights. What I bring to the table: ✅ 1,500+ online coaching and workshop sessions delivered worldwide ✅ Trusted by teams at Amazon, Twitter, Soho House, and more ✅ Organized and hosted TEDx events, creating spaces for meaningful growth ✅ Experience across the U.S., Vietnam, India, and Bali — blending cultural insights with human behavior ✅ Degree in Anthropology + internationally accredited Mindset Coach How I can help you: ✔ Identify and remove the mental and emotional blocks slowing you down ✔ Build unshakable confidence so you can take action, speak up, and lead ✔ Break big goals into clear, doable steps (goodbye, overthinking) ✔ Strengthen your communication and presence using tools from improv, acting, and public speaking If you’re ready to stop circling the same challenges and finally move forward — let’s connect.
