Donations go to training and placing assistance dogs at no cost to the recipients. I know the joy, love, and support from living with a well-trained dog. We got BeeG when he was one and about to be placed as a therapy dog. Fortunately for us, the owner decided to place him with us instead. What a difference he has made in our lives!

Stayed with my aunt and uncle in Portland, and got to visit with my one and only first cousin, too. Family and Love was what this trip was all about. 💕

Singapore is a wrap! Hosting Global Leaders Forum for Hyundai Motor Group was an honor. Seizing Opportunities was the theme with such warm, lovely people and engaged audiences. Hyundai’s new high tech, human-centered Mobility Innovation Center, where we met, focuses on smart solutions and sustainability. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to travel, meet and work with folks from all over the world as an emcee and host.

Visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens on day of arrival, taking in the beautiful native vegetation, including medicinal plants, and lizards digging for food. At the gala dinner, we were treated to a powerful, touching concert from Metropolitan Festival Orchestra and world famous soprano Sumi Jo.

I've appreciated Singapore's unique architecture and their focus on innovation, beauty and nature throughout my two previous visits. The clients were so thoughtful, providing custom Bento boxes for lunches, with thoughtfulness and care during the trip.

Thanks to Speakers Bureau and the entire events team!

Hosting virtual event kicking off MG Awareness month and digital online community for myasthenia gravis patients and caregivers. An honor emceeing this event and learning more about the amazing people dealing with this tough neuromuscular disease. 💜 #virtualevents #virtualhost #virtualemcee #virtualevent

Creating a virtual meeting or event is new territory for many. I'm here to help, having hosted virtual events in our in-home studio and off-site. Here's a video we created and webpage for more info https://presentingamy.com/virtual_emcee.html and here’s what Carlos Tabora had to say after I emceed his #VirtualPivot event: "Virtual events can have many moving parts with both ‘TV-produced quality’ and ‘reality TV-like’ components. I highly encourage meeting and event planners to consider hiring a professional event host that can tie together your messaging throughout your event while managing attendee expectations. When it came time to “open doors” to our #VirtualPivot event, Amy did what she does best – engaging with speakers and attendees with her energetic personality and just making us look good. As one attendee mentioned in our post-event surveys, “I loved Amy's passion and enthusiasm." #homestudio #eventplanners #emcee #virtualevents #virtualconference #virtualmeetings #virtualevent #virtualemcee #virtualeventhost

✦Virtual Event Emcee and Live Broadcast Host✦ Creating engaging virtual events is the talk of the meeting and conference planning industry. Dare we say the word on everyone's mind lately - "pivot"? While we may miss the in-person energy and connection of live events, the good news is that audience engagement is still possible in a live broadcast and virtual event! And, you could argue, that energizing presence may be more important than ever to tie themes together, engage audiences to interact with each other, and maintain focus with distractions lurking near attendees' screens.

✦ Corporate Event Emcee (MC) and Host ✦

Corporate Events have a much greater success rate with an energetic, engaging, charismatic, credible Event Host and Emcee. The Emcee guides the event, serves as the voice and face of the event, and keep things moving with poise, grace, warmth and impact.

Clients will have peace of mind that an experienced professional is handling their event hosting and driving the train on stage. Attendees will participate in dynamic, engaging sessions, resulting in more engagement and higher satisfaction post-event.

✦ Trade Show Presenter ✦

Trying to communicate and connect with crowds and attendees in a distracting, noisy, busy environment can be challenging. As a trade show presenter, I provide professional, credible, engaging presentations to draw people to your booth, inform attendees about products and services you provide. This frees up your team to engage with customers in their level of expertise.

Hiring a professional presenter allows you to maximize the value of your trade show investment with increased traffic, brand recognition and more qualified sales leads.

✦ About Me ✦

I was born to perform and connect with audiences. Rooted in medical and technical backgrounds, I earned a B.S. in Biopsychology. It was in college through the continual study of theater, dance and communications that I realized my true passion...connecting with and empowering people through speaking and performing. For the last 10 years I’ve been bringing my ability to “become the brand” to corporate events.
