Hello and welcome to my website!   I’m the president and founder of Mediatude LLC.  I have many years of experience in business communication, higher education research, teaching, and coaching. My expertise includes brand marketing,  business presentation skills coaching for both live and online backdrops, media training, and helping women communicate more successfully in the workplace, especially with their male colleagues.  In fact, I’m so passionate about it, I created a special workshop/course called WomenSpeak to help them.

Previously, I was an account director and director of media and presentation training for 11 years at a marketing/communications company in Dearborn, Michigan. During my tenure there, I conducted media training and speaker training for clients from corporate CEOs to race car drivers.

Prior to joining the Dearborn company, I taught undergraduate and MBA speaking and writing classes for seven years in the Business Communication Department at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. While there, I created, developed, and implemented a first-of-a-kind class in Business/Media Relations for the MBA program using original copyrighted research. I also taught in the business school’s Executive Education program. 

I served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Madonna University, Livonia, Michigan for three years and taught part-time for nine years in the Business Development Center and Center for Education and Professional Development at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, MI
