My Story

In the summer of ‘22, I moved to New York in the throes of a whirlwind romance.

Back in London, I’d built a successful emcee business, hosting conferences and moderating events all over Europe. I was the ‘go-to’ emcee for live events, having spent over a decade in journalism building out my network.

Suddenly I found myself 4,500 miles from home, starting again in a new city. I had no network, no professional contacts, no friends.

Internally, I was struggling with the confidence to put myself out there. I felt nervous picking up the phone, introducing myself to new people and unsure how to approach relationship-building in NYC.

To add to the challenge, I had a baby at home and very little time to get out and network in-person. When you’re a new mom, every moment outside the house and away from your child matters.

Facing the end of maternity leave, I had a choice: find a traditional job or treat networking like a full-time job to build my emcee business in America.

I bet on myself.

I developed a networking strategy that felt authentic to me. A LinkedIn outreach approach that didn’t give me the ‘ick’. Became a pro as using AI to build my personal brand and focus my networking efforts.

I crafted introductions and communications that didn’t feel sales-y. I found a way to network intentionally and pave my way to new opportunities.

Using my new approach, I reached out to the CEO of a prestigious event in New York. To my surprise, he picked up the phone right away and hired me on the spot.

One email changed everything.

I emceed my first big conference in New York and never looked back.

I found myself on bigger stages. Better paid opportunities. Having more fun. All because I learned how to open doors for myself.

Now, I teach the framework for networking and authentic relationship-building that helped me rebuild my career from the ground up. We’re living in a time when digital networking matters more than ever, and I love helping others discover how to build meaningful connections that truly last.

If you’re looking for a speaker who brings real-world experience, practical strategies, and a fresh, honest take on networking, I’d love to bring my story and insights to your next event.
