M.S. Corporate and Organizational Communications

Michael C.

I hold a Master of Science in Corporate and Organizational Communications from Northeastern University, earned in June 2020. My academic focus included public relations, strategic messaging, brand management, and stakeholder engagement—disciplines that demand strong written and verbal communication. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Strategic Communications at the University of Nevada, Reno, building a solid foundation for content creation and editing. Though I was diagnosed with ADHD after graduate school, I instinctively incorporate support-focused instruction and adaptive learning strategies—especially helpful when tutoring students with varied attention styles.

Professionally, I’ve led high-level communication programs in regulated industries, coaching executives and developing materials for presentations, training, and internal town halls. My mentoring experience includes guiding teams through brand workshops and narrative development, with group sizes ranging from five-person pods to full departments. While my work has been largely corporate, the instructional aspects often mirrored one-on-one educational coaching—particularly when supporting junior staff or external partners.

I’ve also participated in volunteer mentorship through professional fraternities and student organizations, offering resume reviews, interview prep, and public speaking support—primarily with undergraduates and early-career professionals. My approach blends structured feedback with practical goal setting, helping learners understand not just what to improve, but why it matters.

I’m confident in tutoring business writing, storytelling, and strategic communications. My compliance-driven background ensures attention to detail, and I bring a personalized, supportive approach to help students build clarity, impact, and confidence.
