I am  often described as an inspiring and engaging speaker who speaks from the heart, not the prompter.  Some of my favorite words are resilience and agility. Grounded and visionary. Empathy and opportunity.

I can be your next speaker at your corporate event, conference, or retreat. My captivating story about a young Finnish woman who grew up in small town Finland and was the first in my family to go to college. I then moved to the USA, got two master’s degrees and secured a lifetime appointment at the employer of my dreams, the United Nations. I later left the UN to become a successful soloprenuer in New York City with the world as my workplace. This is the narrative I build my inspiring message upon.  It is a story of taking risks in love and business, following your intuition, and working hard for what you love. Be it advocating for a neurodiverse child, starting a new life in your 50s, or reinventing yourself as a professional.  In Finland we call it SISU.

I bring energy and compassion wherever I go.
