Committed to supporting better communication

I've always been drawn to the interactions between people. This inherent interest in human dynamics drove my education. I earned both my bachelor and master's degrees in Professional Communication from University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Over the past 15 years, I've taught communication courses at the university level, focused on public speaking, relationship dynamics, conflict management and more. I like to say I teach people how to get along with one another, but, really, it's all about navigating different communication styles and expectations.

Quality communication is about acknowledging that the messages we send aren't always interpreted in the way we intend--and understanding what contributes to those misinterpretations. I want to help people develop and maintain happy, healthy relationships, through more effective communication patterns.

I love working with people in a range of positions to help them be more successful in their communication. Whether it's public speaking, team dynamics, or navigating a specific conflict.

History

A little history

P.S. Consulting was founded in 2019 to support folks in all things dating and matchmaking. As the dating landscape evolved and online apps become increasingly popular, the dating process has developed into an impersonal exchange. The combination of a seemingly endless stream of singles and profiles that don't present the unique qualities of people well, leads to a frustrating process for many.

While I still work with clients to support their dating lives - this includes online profile curation and dating coaching - in 2023, I began increasing offerings available to include communication support in the workplace. I know that may seem like a major jump, however, this type of consulting is something I have been engaged in since 2012. Ultimately, my goal is to help make people's lives better by developing their communication behaviors. Not all offerings are captured in this website, as communication is a broad topic!
