About Marisa

l have experience supporting others in developing strong written and verbal communication skills. This includes reading and editing academic essays, personal statements, and creative writing pieces to improve clarity, structure, tone, and grammar. I take a thoughtful and collaborative approach, offering constructive feedback that helps writers express their ideas more effectively while maintaining their unique voice. I have experience in speech writing and public speaking coaching. I've assisted peers in drafting speeches for both academic and professional settings, ensuring their messages are compelling, well-organized, and audience-appropriate. I provide presentation training that focuses on delivery, confidence-building, tone modulation, body language, and pacing. I work with individuals to help them become more comfortable and persuasive speakers, whether they're preparing for a class presentation, interview, or formal event.
