About me
Since conducting my first training in 2010, I have delivered trainings and spoken at events around the world, including conferences, TEDx, and speech competitions. I have given speeches in English, Hungarian, French, and Mandarin Chinese, and have won over 30 public speaking awards.
Before becoming a professional trainer, I taught English in China for two years and worked for the United Nations for over five years. In addition to my corporate trainings, I taught for five years as an external lecturer at one of Hungary’s top universities, Corvinus University of Budapest.
I provide customized services for multinational corporations and international organizations, as well as accommodate startup businesses and individuals. My approach features cross-cultural sensitivity derived from my years at the United Nations and my experience living in five countries (China, Estonia, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America).
During my sessions, I aim to create a supportive and fun learning environment where one feels safe to practice and experiment with various communication techniques. Because public speaking can (and should) be fun!:)
