About Me

I'm a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with over 20 years of experience, ASHA-certified, and a US Air Force veteran. I coach senior immigrant professionals — physicians, executives, engineers, and founders — who already speak fluent English but want their voice to match the level of the rooms they're already in.

My clients aren't learning English. They're refining executive presence, spoken clarity, and the subtle patterns of American workplace communication that fluency alone doesn't teach. I approach this work as a clinician first: my grounding is in linguistics and phonetics, but my focus is always on what makes my client heard, understood, and taken seriously.

I love this work because accent has nothing to do with intelligence, capability, or worth — and everything to do with being received the way you deserve.

My Approach

Every client comes to me at a different point in their career and with a different set of goals, so I build each program individually. I don't run a curriculum. I run a diagnostic — we start by identifying the specific patterns making listeners work harder to understand you, then we build a targeted plan around those patterns rather than trying to fix everything at once.

Sessions combine phonetic work with real-world application — the emails you're actually sending, the presentation you're actually giving, the meeting you're actually walking into.

My approach is warm but direct. I treat clients as the accomplished professionals they already are.

What makes this work matter to me is watching senior clients stop rehearsing sentences before they speak. That shift — from managing your voice to trusting it — is the real outcome.

Schedule a free consultation and we'll discuss your goals, answer your questions, and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.
