As a dedicated, communication specialist, copywriter and life coach, with 20+ years experience, I am well versed in the everyday struggle you may be having expressing yourself, figuring out your next career move or asking the tough questions to figure out your true passionI majored in English Literature, with a minor in professional writing, and continue to be an avid reader and writer. During my day-to-day, I teach academic reading and writing skills at Language Systems International (LSI). Additionally, I work with students of all ages and levels of English on Conversation Management and Accent Reduction (CMAR) which includes pronunciation, vocabulary building, and listening comprehension. Besides teaching, I freelance as a writer and consultant for startups, assisting them in developing written and oral presentations to gain investments of $250k- $1mil from venture capitalists. The connection between reading, writing, and public speaking is not always obvious but becomes more clear as we begin to develop your unique writing and speaking style which I can help you with. Finally, as a life coach, I can guide students and young professionals in standard job-seeking skills, like creating a resume that highlights accomplishments, a cover letter that gets responses and prepping clients for intense interviews. Furthermore, I know how to get you motivated and energized about education, work, or that career change you've been dying to make.
In closing, I strive to boost your confidence by being supportive, making you feel comfortable, and keeping my lessons fun but packed with very useful information. I am knowledgeable on many topics, highly motivated, love a spirited debate, and sincerely enjoy helping people reach their goals. I look forward to working with you soon.

A graduate of Cornell University, I have backgrounds in English, anatomy, human relations, and computer software. My communication skills and ways of explaining things have led me to become an experienced, effective, and efficient instructor.
I can also help prepare résumés, teach interviewing techniques, and develop critical thinking skills.
My background in multiple subjects comes from a lifelong interest in numerous areas of study and academia. I currently teach classes of about 20 students and have years of experience connecting with learners.
My style is very professional, but friendly, as well. When students finally understand something that had been frustrating them, I get great satisfaction.
