"Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good; haste makes mistakes" -Prov. 19:2

I’m a media entrepreneur, educator, and voiceover talent with over 20 years of experience in communication, public speaking, and business support. My background includes fundraising nearly $1 million through strategic messaging, helping over 1,000 students navigate visa and college entry systems, and managing podcast productions and video narration under my business, CM Parker Media. I’m passionate about helping people communicate clearly and authentically in both corporate and creative spaces. My current teaching interests include voice as a leadership tool and leveraging skills into a profitable business model.
