Andrea is an inspiring speaker, who engages her audiences through being authentic, articulate and compelling. She captivated the room when delivering a keynote speech at one of our Women in PR Cymru events. The stories she told about her career experiences, and her personal reflections, were both honest and entertaining. We received fantastic feedback from delegates who were all totally drawn to her warmth and approachable style.
