Hello! I’m a degreed and certified professional with an MBA and over 30 years of experience empowering individuals in their personal and professional growth. I specialize in tutoring Microsoft Excel, Word, SPSS, public speaking, career development, and marketing research, including survey and questionnaire development. My approach combines practical, real-world expertise with compassionate guidance to help students and professionals build confidence, master new skills, and achieve tangible results.

As a financial controller, manager, trainer, mentor, certified BG5 Career & Business Consultant, and personal power expander, I tailor lessons to fit each learner’s unique needs. Whether you’re a student tackling SPSS for research, a professional optimizing workflows in Excel, or someone preparing to speak with confidence in front of any audience, I simplify complex concepts into easy-to-follow steps. My sessions focus on hands-on, practical applications, so you leave with tools you can use immediately.

In addition to presenting to diverse audiences at all organizational levels, I’m also media-trained and have been interviewed by television stations, radio shows, and reporters for news articles and press releases. These experiences have honed my skills in public speaking, communication clarity, and audience engagement. I’ve worked one-on-one and in group settings, both virtually and in person, guiding learners of all ages. For career development clients, I offer targeted coaching in resume-building, interview prep, personal branding, and strategies to confidently navigate professional growth.

Let’s take the next step together. I’m here to make learning accessible, rewarding, and empowering for you! Reach out to schedule a session, and let’s tailor a plan that aligns with your goals and learning style.
