Testimonials
"I was spearheading an initiative in Ghana aimed at helping emerging producers connect with publishing avenues and explore revenue-building strategies. Mandy made the virtual workshop experience highly interactive and engaging. She is incredibly reliable, communicates flawlessly, and always goes the extra mile. Her innovation and dedication set her apart.”
- Scilla Owusu, Founder At Youngtrepreneurs
From the pre-panel set-up right through to delivery, Mandy was an absolute dream to work with. Her presentation sessions balanced both ice-breaking and setting a good tone and expectations for the panel with all guest speakers and on the day, she truly managed to fit a lot of amazing content and lines of questioning into a short period of time. Her ability to empathise with the audience and lead our conversation accordingly was especially impressive. Hopefully, it will be the first of many times I get to work with Mandy!
