Passionate about the power of expression, she is also a communication trainer helping clients give TED talks, get hired, promoted and generally heard. Her 2016 book, “How to Speak with Confidence in Public”, co-authored with Charlotte McDougall has quickly become on of those expert books you must have on your shelf.

She’s been a political analyst for hedge fund Omega Advisors in New York, a speechwriter for the Secretary General of the Organization of American States in Washington, D.C. and an international relations expert for Hungarian political party SzDSz in Budapest.
