about Marisa

Hi, I’m Marisa! I’m a senior Business Management student at Auburn University, double-minoring in Psychology & Organizational Leadership. After graduating on an accelerated timeline, I’m excited to continue my education by pursuing a Masters in Communications.

I have a passion for communications, leadership, and personal development, and I genuinely love helping others develop these skills in themselves. Over the years, I’ve actively honed my skills through campus involvement including student government, pageantry, Greek life leadership, and honor societies. From nearly a decade of speaking and performing onstage to building an online presence, navigating sorority recruitment and interviews, I’ve learned what it take to show up confidently in high-stakes moments.

Now I’m here to help you do the same and prep you to succeed whether it’s an internship interview, public speaking engagement, or sorority recruitment, my goal is to help you communicate effectively and overall refine your presence. 

Outside of coaching, you can find me being actively involved in my church, working out, spending time with friends, making sourdough, or traveling.

I can’t wait to start this journey with you and help you reach your goals!
