I help businesses and organizations turn science into strategy through impactful speaking, engaging workshops, expert skincare education for women, and tailored scientific consulting backed by years of hands-on experience and a powerful global network. 

 If you’re looking for a speaker who sparks ideas, a workshop that drives change, or expert guidance on complex challenges — this is where I come in. 

I speak on topics that ignite ideas and inspire action — from the science of skincare to leadership, women’s empowerment, and decision-making under pressure.
My talks are never one-size-fits-all. Every event I work on is 100% tailored to the audience, the topic, and the energy you want in the room. Whether it’s a keynote, a fireside chat, or a panel discussion, my goal is to leave people thinking differently — and ready to act.

Broad speaking themes include:

• Science made practical — from skincare to sustainability.
   
• Leadership and resilience in fast-changing environments.
   
• Women’s empowerment and career confidence.
   
• Decision-making: blending data, intuition, and courage.
   
• The business of science — turning research into real-world impact

I run interactive, empowering workshops that blend science, storytelling, and hands-on learning. My most popular format is skincare education for women (check it out here https://lu.ma/Skincare101S2?k=c), rooted in evidence-based knowledge and designed to cut through marketing noise.
These sessions aren’t lectures, they’re conversations. Attendees leave feeling informed, confident, and inspired to make better choices for themselves.

Why they work:

• 100% interactive — live Q&A, polls, real product breakdowns.
   
• Adaptable — online, offline, or hybrid.
   
• Works as team-building, corporate wellness sessions, or public events.
   
• Fun, approachable, and high-energy while still delivering depth.

When science meets business, the right expertise can make or break a decision. I provide tailored advisory services to companies, investors, and organizations who need clarity on complex scientific matters.

With experience in food tech, cosmetic formulation, and product development, I help assess:

• Product feasibility and market fit.
   
• Ingredient functionality and safety.
   
• Scientific credibility of business pitches.
   
• Investment due diligence for venture capital/investment firms for science-based products.

• Founder, Connections and VA Ltd. — Scientific consulting and project management.
   
• Consultant, BONARD — Data-driven strategy and analysis for global clients.
   
• Former Project Manager, CMYK Ingredients — Led cosmetic formulation and product launches.
   
• Guest Lecturer, University of Ansbach — Science communication and product innovation.
   
• Ambassador, Global Scientific Entrepreneurial Community.
   
• Speaker at 30+ C-level client presentations, 10+ pitch decks delivered, and multiple public events across Europe.
