I offer 1:1 public speaking and presentation coaching to help you:

🎓 About Me
I hold a PhD from Leiden University and have spent over a decade giving academic presentations around the world—speaking to audiences from 20 to over 1000 people. In parallel, I’ve worked for nearly 10 years as a theatre producer, blending performance technique with public communication.

This unique combination allows me to coach clients through:

Voice control and body language

Speech structure and flow

Audience engagement techniques

Interview success strategies for schools, jobs, or panels

🧠 Who This Is For:
Students preparing for class presentations, thesis defenses, or university interviews
