Presentation Coach. Editor. Writer.

A love of storytelling is the golden thread that connects everything I do. Drawing on my experience as a performer and an author, I take a playful and exploratory approach to my work.

After receiving a degree in Theater Studies from Yale, I went on to a brief stint in acting followed by a 30-year career as a content shaper in the media industry. Along the way, I found my highest purpose and delight in coaching people — from entrepreneurs and executives to creatives and community leaders — to craft and deliver personal-best presentations and pitches.

Presentation & Pitch Readiness

I coach individuals at every level and in any field
who want to present with more authority and authenticity.

Asking questions is my superpower.

By listening closely and asking the right questions, I will help you identify and overcome stumbling blocks and tap into your unique strengths so you can deliver your best presentation.

Why work with me?

You’re preparing for a big, important, maybe even life-changing presentation. You’ve done your research, thought about your audience, gathered the data and begun crafting a persuasive story. Still, something is holding you back. Maybe it’s an overwhelming fear of public speaking. (If it is, you’re far from alone!) Maybe you feel your message could be crafted more skillfully. Or maybe you just need a safe space to rehearse and receive expert feedback. If so, I can help!

As you prepare to present or pitch, I’ll help you:

  • Clarify your thinking

  • Articulate your ideas

  • Tailor your presentation to your audience’s needs and interests

  • Craft a compelling story arc

  • Write and hone your script

  • Curate your slide content

  • Level up your delivery

  • Manage performance anxiety

  • Convey your ideas with energy and clarity

  • Connect with your audience

Testimonials

  • “The difference pre-Kat and post-Kat is a delta so big that words won't do it justice. I saw Kat make magic. She meets folks where they are and, with honest and direct feedback, helps them get the clarity (and as a result the confidence) they need. Presentations, ideas and stories that were Stage 1 became better than TED Talks — captivating, honest, emotional and clear.”

    Erika Augustine, Executive Director, The David Prize

  • “I engaged Kat during a challenging job interview process, tapping into her expertise in storytelling, scripting, and presentation skills. Her coaching enabled me to turn a good presentation into an exceptional presentation that was extremely well received by a tough executive panel. Interacting with Kat is always a pleasure – she is super upbeat, polished, and professional, managing to provide critical feedback in a way that is both actionable and positive.”

    A., Senior Director, Corporate Research & Insights

  • “Kat seamlessly turned my 20 minute pitch into something a quarter the length, somehow encapsulating the essence without anything feeling like it was missing. It was an absolute game-changer and undoubtedly set me up for success by giving me headspace to focus on the moment.”

    J.C. Hall, Hip Hop Therapy Studio Program Director at Mott Haven Community High School & 2024 David Prize Winner

  • “I have benefited greatly from Kat’s ability to understand the needs of different audiences, as well as her deft editing. She helped me develop strategies and script writing skills tailored to my personal style, and coached me on stage presence and finding my own voice. Using these tools I've pitched creative concepts in countless high-profile forums, including board meetings and stage presentations to audiences of thousands. I owe so much of my success in these settings to Kat's mentorship.”
