"It was during a communication course in undergraduate school when I learned that my voice -- my dialect and my communication style -- did not best reflect me. Not only did my voice not help me, it was actually holding me back from reaching my goals. This awareness changed my life. From that point on, I never stopped learning how to improve the way I speak. It thrills me to help others do the same."
