I specialize in hosting growth & innovation corporate events for either 30 leaders or 500 innovators, creating an environment where attendees don't just show up—they lean in & build rich connections with others.
*Here's what makes me different:*
Nearly anyone can read a bio to introduce speakers. Instead, I raise anticipation about problems speakers will solve. I turn rooms full of individuals into communities. My approach combines the inspirational energy of Mel Robbins with the facilitation skills of a seasoned experiential educator. I've spent 10 years mastering how to highlight key insights, facilitate meaningful interaction, and create energy & momentum that keeps attendees coming back!

April 13, 2026I can't say enough about Kristin Salada as our emcee! Not only did she keep our conference on track, she transformed the experience with her energy and left me open to focus on other things. Kristin created slides and organized a complete run of show. This isn’t something we asked for…she absolutely went above and beyond! Throughout the day, she kept everyone engaged by adding humor, questions, and activities. Kristin turned what could’ve been an ordinary event into something special. The day was better than imagined largely due to her efforts.

I've led Simon Says for 400 people, live-announced as the annual Development Lab engineering commentator for a decade, and hosted leaders building new healthcare solutions. My work has been recognized by ShoutOut Colorado, and I've earned repeat bookings from event planners who trust me to deliver year after year.
I put speakers at ease backstage and lift them up onstage, so they can focus on delivering their best.
Ready to create an event your audience can't wait to return to again? Send me a message through this profile or give me a call. Let's talk about how I can free you up to focus on all the other aspects of the event - I've got your stage covered.

I love partnering with A/V teams to ensure we've got great walk-on music for speakers and music ready for filling those spaces where energy needs bringing up!

Depending on the event, I often ask for confidence monitors and timers for myself and for speakers.
I like to have both a handheld mic and a headset mic.
