Some people would rather die than do it. But for me, there’s nothing more fun. And I’ve done it all—from breakouts to keynotes, intimate workshops to large-scale conferences, emceeing events to moderating panels.
Whether you need a keynote or a breakout, a host or panel moderator, I’ve got knack for keeping the conversation fresh, relevant, and engaging (and putting both audience and other speakers at ease). It would be an honor and pleasure to talk to you about your next event, whether it’s in person or virtual.

Her presentations have that magical combination of being both motivational and actionable. Plus, she’s hysterical!"

ABOUT YOUR NEXT EVENT
ABOUT YOUR NEXT EVENT
Need a Host, Emcee, Moderator?
I can do that.
From TEDx events to leadership summits to comedy shows to panels lined with very nervous contributors, I know my way around a hosting role.
You can hand a mic and a few index cards to anyone with half a personality and call it a day. But a next-level host does more than simply introduce who’s next; she helps connect all the show elements and give the event a coherent look, feel, and vibe. The goal of a host isn’t to make themselves look good; it’s to make YOU look good.
Plus, as a professional speaker trainer, I can also help your speakers and panelists feel prepared to shine on stage, even if it’s the last place they want to be.
Want more information or to schedule a call? Let’s do it! I’d love to talk more.
