About

By day at Netflix, I build learning programs and experiences that support growth, connection, and cross-functional collaboration like Behind the Streams: a Pitch-to-Play Workshop, Presenting Lab, Inside CBP, Netflix & Skill, and more! They’re memorable, meaningful, highly interactive experiences that drive behavior change at all levels. Outside of work, I run Stagecoach Creative, where I coach individuals and teams on how to communicate clearly, confidently, and with impact. My workshops blend real-world tactics with improv, humor, and sharp feedback you’ll actually remember. I’ve coached over 120 presenters (and counting) 1:1 on everything from pitching OKRs to announcing a re-org to “I need to get promoted and I’m not sure how.” I’ve also performed comedy with The Second City Chicago, Upright Citizens Brigade New York, and four months on one eventful cruise ship. So who better to teach you how to stand out, be heard, and get what you want from your audience? If your team is ready to stop dreading presentations and start using them, I’d love to help. DM me or visit www.thestagecoach.co if you’re looking for a coach or a workshop your team will talk about afterward, and be able to apply immediately.
