Looking for all the motivation, passion, and insight of Brené Brown, but delivered with the irreverence, wit, and mischief of your Aunt Bluma after a half-bottle of Manischewitz? Look no further.
Whether you need an all-in-one live event host and emcee to keep an audience laughing and your event on schedule, a razor-sharp moderator, or a speaker on topics like navigating the creative rollercoaster and befriending your inner critic, let’s make it happen.
If there’s an audience and an agenda, I’m the gal you want behind the mic.

Got a conference, gala, fundraiser, or awards show where humans are gathering and need a powerful, witty, and deeply engaging presence to keep the train on the tracks?
Hire me as:
Emcee & Host: Keeping your audience hooked, moving the program smoothly, and bringing the exact right energy from opening remarks to the final curtain call.
Auctioneer: Driving engagement and keeping the room energized when it's time to raise funds.
The "Voice of God" Announcer: A seamless, commanding, and (relatively benevolent) "Voice of God" calling the shots from the wings.
Cut the Bullshit, Pass the Pickles: How to Tell Stories People Actually Give a Damn About
We hide behind buzzwords because we're terrified of being unscripted. But nobody has ever laughed until they cried because of a strategic enterprise update. If you want people to actually lean in and listen, stop sanitizing and start being human.
Take the Ride: Navigating the Rollercoaster of a Creative Career: Exploring the actual science behind our emotional highs and lows (hello, Hedonic Adaptation), learning how to love the process over the outcome, and building practical scaffolds like regulation, rituals, and routines to sustain a creative life.
Meet Your Inner Critic: How to spot, name, and ultimately befriend that relentless inner voice (think: an unhinged life coach living rent-free in your brain) so you can stop self-sabotaging and start owning your work.
Wisdom might be a strong word for these, so here are my best field-tested lessons from years in the trenches:
Guiding conversations, panels, and workshops with thoughtful questions, organic pacing, and literally zero ego.
i'll be in touch shortly.
Hooray!
