I'm Jackie. I have my PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders and am a Fellow of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. I've been a voice-specialized Speech-Language Pathologist since 1995 and am an Associate Professor at Carlow University in Pittsburgh, PA. Previously, I was co-director of the University of Pittsburgh Voice Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center for ~ 20-years.
My other passion is to transform how professionals present!
I created Voice Now LLC in 2013 to help people present better. With Voice Now, you will receive access to hands on workshops on presentation effectiveness including developing your presentation story, designing your slides to tell a visual story, and delivering your best presentation ever!

VOICE NOW
WHERE COMMUNICATION SCIENCE MEETS PRESENTATION EFFECTIVENESS
"I love the way Jackie weaves together presentation skills, messaging principles, and smart slide design to help you build an engaging, entertaining, yet educational presentation! She models what she teaches. At each seminar that I have attended, I have walked away with new strategies I could implement right away."

"I had a high stakes presentation to give. Jackie came highly recommended. I worked with her remotely. I’m on the road a lot and needed a quick turn-a-round. Artificial Intelligence and Adaptive Learning are complex topics. Jackie’s keen focus identified the key message and she built an elegant slide deck around it quickly. I couldn’t have done it without her!”
