How It Started
How It Started
I was just like you prior to my first college presentation.
My adrenaline was pumping, my palms were sweating, and I was anticipating ANY possible scenario that could go wrong:
"Will I forget what to say?"
"What if they don't like me?"
"What if they can figure out that I am nervous?"
Despite all of my self-perpetuating fears, I successfully delivered my first speech! I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. This was just the beginning of the next 17 years of my new dedication to the field of Communication.
Education
How It Started
How It Started
After that first dreaded speech, I went on to deliver 17 more speeches. Over that period of time, my insecurities developed into pure confidence; I actually learned to LOVE Public Speaking!
At that point, I decided that I definitely wanted to continue my education in the field of Communication, with the overall goal of helping others conquer their fears.
I went on to receive my graduate degree from New York University's Steinhardt School of Education in Speech and Interpersonal Communication.
Career
Since graduation, I have instructed Communication courses at many institutions throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including: Temple University, Rider University, Monmouth University, Brookdale Community College, Mercer County Community College, and Rowan College at Burlington County.
In addition to Public Speaking, I have also instructed other eminent Communication skills including: Communication Ethics, Conflict Resolution, and Issues in Intercultural Communication. As of this date, I have successfully instructed over a thousand college students. Additionally, I have trained professionals and business owners in their presentation skills (including effective visual presentations), methods in conflict resolution, as well as in how to develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships with their clients and/or patients.
Some professional highlights, include:
- Instructed and trained a student to successfully present a TED Talk at a TEDx Event in front of a live audience
- Entered elementary school students in a national high school speech competition at Harvard University
- Provided expertise as a judge for the Future Business Leaders of America competition and the National Forensics League

Michelle Coyle
Graphic Designer
Hi! My name is Michelle. I’m a mom to two beautiful, crazy kids, that I get to raise with my loving husband, Ed. I am an artist at heart and attended The Art Institute of Philadelphia. I have a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design with over 18 years of experience.
In 2010, I opened my first business, Beechtree Design, in the wedding industry. Starting this business from scratch opened my eyes to the world of digital marketing... and I was in love. When the pandemic hit in 2020 and we couldn't do weddings anymore, I decided to pivot and offer graphic design and digital marketing full-time.
Over the past 12 years, I have helped various individuals and businesses of all sizes grow their online presence. I love what I do and look forward to building more lasting relationships.
