Great communication is simply great storytelling. With a B.A. in English, an M.S. in Marketing, and more than 20 years of experience in communications, marketing, and education, I help students and professionals express their ideas clearly and confidently.

I specialize in helping high school students, undergraduates, and young professionals navigate high-stakes communication challenges. Whether you're drafting a college admissions essay, developing a research paper, building a professional resume, preparing for an interview, or delivering an important presentation, I provide practical guidance and a clear plan for success.

My approach focuses on both message and delivery. Strong communication isn't just about what you say; it's about how you say it. Having studied in NYU's Tisch School of the Arts film and television program and trained at the Houston Academy for Dramatic Arts, I offer coaching in presentation skills, public speaking, and interview preparation. Through live rehearsals and personalized feedback, I help students and clients organize their ideas, strengthen their delivery, and build confidence in high-pressure situations.

Whether you need help with writing, presentations, or public speaking, my goal is to help you communicate with confidence and impact.

Accent Reduction

Accent Reduction

I help English learners and non-native English speakers reduce pronunciation challenges and communicate more clearly, naturally, and confidently, especially in professional, academic, and presentation settings. With a B.A. in English, an M.S. in Marketing, more than 20 years of communications experience, and additional training in acting and voice, I combine pronunciation practice with the communication skills that make speech easier to understand and more effective. My approach is personalized and practical. We identify specific sounds, word stress, pacing, intonation, and speech patterns that may affect intelligibility, then work through targeted exercises and repeated practice. I also focus on how pronunciation connects to confidence, presence, and audience connection. The goal isn't to erase someone's identity or natural voice, but to help them speak English more clearly, comfortably, and confidently.
Acting

Acting

I have training in acting and performance through the Houston Academy for Dramatic Arts, with experience in stage and screen-based fundamentals including monologues and scene work. My background in English, marketing, and public speaking strengthens my understanding of storytelling, presence, and audience engagement. I help students build confidence, presence, and foundational performance skills for auditions, practice scenes, and general acting development. My coaching focuses on developing natural, grounded delivery and reducing performance anxiety so students can feel more comfortable and expressive.
Career Development

Career Development

I help students, professionals, and career changers turn uncertainty into a clear career strategy. I have coached clients across medicine, engineering, customer service, marketing, and other professional fields, helping them prepare for interviews, strengthen resumes and professional profiles, clarify their career direction, and position themselves for new opportunities. With a B.A. in English, a master’s in Marketing, and more than 20 years of experience in communications and marketing across a variety of industries, I bring a unique combination of business communication, presentation, branding, and career coaching expertise. My coaching supports the full career journey, from discovering what fits you and navigating a career transition to advancing in your current field, building your personal brand, preparing for interviews, improving your resume, and developing an effective job search strategy.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I help writers develop their own ideas, voice, and storytelling through thoughtful feedback and practical coaching. With a B.A. in English, an M.S. in Marketing, and more than 20 years of experience in communications and storytelling, I bring both creative instinct and a strong understanding of audience to the process. I work with poetry, creative nonfiction, personal essays, short stories, and other shorter-form work, helping you explore voice, structure, imagery, pacing, and storytelling while keeping the writing distinctly yours.

Graphic Design

Creating a graphic is only the beginning. The real skill is creating visuals that communicate your ideas, connect with your audience, and tell your story.

I teach more than just the mechanics of Canva. I help you understand the strategy behind effective visual communication. I have used Canva extensively to develop marketing campaigns, social media graphics, presentations, flyers, digital content, branded materials, videos, and reels. I have created visual assets used across websites, social media channels, email marketing, and other communication platforms. In our sessions, I can help you: • Learn Canva tools and features with confidence • Create social media graphics, branded templates, flyers, posters, signage, and marketing materials • Design presentations, pitch decks, and professional visual content • Create reels, short-form videos, and engaging digital content • Develop consistent branding and organize your Canva projects for easier management • Understand design choices that help your content communicate more effectively My goal is to help you become confident creating your own marketing materials while understanding the "why" behind what works.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

With a B.A. in English, an M.S. in Marketing, and 20+ years of professional communication leadership across both business and education sectors, I help clients structure high-impact answers, master live interview dynamics, and speak with authentic confidence under pressure. My coaching covers both job interview prep (across corporate, marketing, technical, medical, and engineering roles) and college/graduate admissions interviews. My background also includes formal performance and vocal training from the New York University Film & TV Program and the Houston Academy of Dramatic Arts. This gives me a unique ability to help clients refine their presence, pacing, body language, and delivery. Rather than giving generic advice, I come to our sessions prepared with customized visual frameworks, structured notes, and tailored response templates so you can organize your thoughts quickly and navigate tough behavioral or technical questions with ease. Proven Track Record & How We Work Together: I have a documented history of helping clients overcome interview anxiety, sharpen their storytelling, and land job offers at top organizations. Over live screen share and interactive mock interviews, we focus on: • Job & Corporate Interviews: Structuring STAR-method answers, refining elevator pitches, tackling technical or scenario questions, and navigating high-stakes panel interviews. • College & Academic Admissions: Crafting memorable personal narratives, framing academic goals, and practicing high-pressure university admissions interviews. • Presence & Public Speaking: Overcoming delivery challenges, improving articulation and pronunciation, building body language confidence, and reducing performance anxiety. Whether you are a student prepping for a university interview or a professional aiming to land your next role, I provide the exact preparation, framework, and practice you need to walk in confident and walk out with the offer.
Marketing

Marketing

Marketing success comes down to clear positioning, strategic messaging, and great storytelling, a philosophy I’ve put into practice over a 20-year career that includes earning multiple TSPRA Star Awards in education marketing. With an M.S. in Marketing, dual certifications as an AMA PCM and CDMP, and two decades leading strategy across B2B, education, fintech, and publishing, I bring deep, practical expertise to every session. My career covers everything from full-scale brand architecture and product strategy to SaaS platform launches, market research, and AI-driven workflows. I bring hands-on experience across core industry platforms including social media strategy (Meta, LinkedIn, X, Sprout Social, Hootsuite), email systems (Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor), project management (Wrike), and website messaging (WordPress). How We Work Together: Sessions are practical, hands-on, and tailored to your exact goals. Over screen share, we can: • For Business Owners & Professionals: Audit digital marketing strategy, build target audience personas, structure campaign calendars, leverage AI for marketing workflows, or refine brand positioning and presentation pitches. • For Students & Job Seekers: Navigate core marketing coursework, master Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) frameworks, analyze market research cases, or polish presentation decks. Whether you are mastering Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC), analyzing competitive landscapes, or building your own brand strategy, I teach you how to turn complex marketing concepts into clear, real-world results.

My background in marketing and storytelling allows me to help students identify their strengths and present their experiences in a structured and authentic way. I focus on clarity, organization, and narrative flow so students can communicate their ideas effectively and confidently. I also support editing and refining drafts to improve readability, impact, and overall coherence.

Master both what you say and how you say it, from slide deck structure to confident room delivery.

I work with business owners, young professionals, and students to build tight slide narratives, overcome performance jitters, and master natural speech patterns.

From Overwhelmed to Confident Thanks to Kimberly!

Kimberly G. has been absolutely amazing to work with! She has been teaching me TikTok and Facebook marketing, and I have learned so much from her. She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that makes it easy to understand, even for someone who is just starting out. What I appreciate most is that Kimberly doesn't just tell you what to do—she teaches you why it works and gives you the confidence to do it yourself. Every lesson has been organized, practical, and tailored to my business goals. I always leave our sessions feeling more confident and excited about growing my business. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your success and has the expertise to help you build your social media presence, I highly recommend Kimberly. She has exceeded all of my expectations, and I look forward to continuing to learn from her. She has been one of the best investments I've made in my business, and I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Judy, thank you so much for your kind words! I’ve truly enjoyed working with you and watching your confidence grow. Your willingness to learn and take action has been inspiring, and I’m excited to continue supporting you as you grow your business!

Excellent Tutor

Kimberly was excellent. She broke down new concepts clearly and was patient with answering my questions. She also came prepared into our session with notes and a framework that helped guide us. I am a visual learner so I was thrilled when I saw the notes she prepared. Having these notes visually in front of me helped me understand concepts quicker and allowed me to listen actively. She also answered all my questions without judgement, and we reviewed concepts until I understood them.

Thank you, Chad! You put in great work during our prep, and I couldn't be happier to hear you landed the engineering position. Huge congratulations!

Excellent Tutor who helped me succeed in my job interview.

I had the pleasure of working with Kimberly for five tutoring courses, and I highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, patient, and has an excellent ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and practical way. Her guidance significantly improved my understanding and confidence. After completing our sessions, I noticed an immediate improvement in my interview performance, and I was successful in obtaining a job shortly afterward. Her tutoring helped me organize my knowledge, strengthen my problem-solving skills, and prepare effectively for technical questions. Kimberly is always well prepared, supportive, and genuinely invested in her students' success. I am very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and highly effective tutor.

Kimberly helped me overcome pronunciation challenges. She not only identified areas for improvement, but also shared effective practice techniques. She came to every lesson well prepared, and her summaries after every lesson were always helpful for practicing afterword. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve public speaking skills!
