​Whether hosting live cooking demonstrations at food and wine festivals, emceeing multi-day corporate conferences, or moderating panels featuring authors, athletes, executives, and thought leaders, 20+ of interviewing people for feature article or segment guide the way I help tell someone tell their authentic story,  

On stage, I want to bring to life the place of intersection of curiosity and connection by creating dialogue that engages an audience — conversations that offer real insight, practical takeaways, and spark meaningful discussion.

A great event shouldn’t feel scripted; it should feel alive, thoughtful, and just a little unpredictable. 



My expertise is honed from years of interviewing people from all walks of life — from royalty (I know - wild!) to celebrities to ordinary individuals doing extraordinary things — and translates seamlessly to moderating panels and conducting live, one-on-one interviews.

​With more than two decades as a journalist, I know how to ask the right questions, uncover compelling narratives, and create meaningful connections.  ​

At its core, it all comes down to good storytelling.
