Angie Snowball
From the stage to the corporate world, my journey has been anything but conventional. I began my career as an actress before transitioning into the corporate world traveling the globe and living abroad. Along the way, I saw how communication barriers crippled many of my friends and colleagues. Determined to make a difference, I founded a language coaching company to help international professionals express themselves with confidence and over time, my work expanded beyond ESL training, evolving into full-service communication consulting. Today, I help professionals craft compelling messages through LinkedIn strategy, copywriting, editing, and communication skills training to tell their story with clarity, confidence, and impact, ensuring their message reaches the right audience.
