Monica Ortega

When I'm hired for an event, the first thing I do is gather all of the information about the company, event, audience, etc. I set up a call with the event planner to learn about what the goals of the event are and what they've done in the past (if applicable).

On the day of the event, I arrive early for a soundcheck and then we're ready to rock! I bring high energy to events and make them interactive. My goal is to not only create engaging and fun events, but also events that run smoothly. I'm there to help with the flow of the event and day and also to jump in if things go wrong.

As a speaker, my goal is to leave people inspired with practical steps of what to do next in their lives to build resilience, face fears, and lean into life's pivots.

Whether I'm speaking, emcee'ing, or both, my goal is to make YOU look like a rockstar for planning such an amazing and fun event!
