Testimonials

  • "Grace is a pleasure to share the stage with. She has the beautiful versatility of being able to engage and captivate the audience while also having an innate sense of when to step back to allow space for others to shine. Many MCs bring a sense of ego onto the stage yet by contrast Grace has an aura of warmth and connection that draws an audience in. She is equally at home conducting a delicate Q&A or hyping the crowd and raising the energy. Grace has a natural ability and skill set beyond her years. I look forward to future opportunities to work with Grace again."
