I help professionals become confident, compelling communicators through human-centered storytelling.

WHY LIRIAN?

Recruitment starts with marketing—but it ends with people.

I’ve worked in both digital marketing and student admissions for colleges and universities. I’ve watched schools pour resources into ads and SEO, pushing clicks, tour sign-ups, and campus visits.

But once students show up, that momentum can fall flat.

The real decision point?

Human connection.

THAT’S THE GAP LIRIAN FILLS.

I created Lirian to help admissions professionals, student ambassadors, and campus leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence—on tours, in calls, and in every moment that matters.

Because students aren’t just prospects.
They’re people.

And connection—not just information—is what drives commitment.

WHAT I OFFER

Customized workshops based on three core training pillars:

01

Interpersonal Communication

Before a story can be told, a connection must be made.

Learn how to build trust quickly, make strong first impressions, and show up with confident presence—verbally and nonverbally.

02

Public Speaking

A great story falls flat without great delivery.

Find your voice, sharpen your presence, and learn how to lead the room with authenticity and impact.

03

Storytelling Strategy

People make decisions based on emotion first, logic second.

I teach the psychology and structure behind great storytelling, so your message is remembered, and felt.

BEHIND THE NAME

Lirian blends lyre—an ancient symbol of poetic storytelling—with -ian, meaning “one who practices.” It evokes someone who helps others speak with rhythm, presence, and resonance.

At its core, Lirian exists to help people use storytelling to bridge the gap between information and human connection.
