The last few years, one of my big teachers has definitely been my speaker coach. Ioana, shoutout to you!

We got in touch in 2020, when I joined one of her public speaking courses, and the journey I’ve been on with her has been amazing. She has helped me so much to transform as a speaker.

When we were preparing for [my TEDxRWTHAachen] talk, every session was like a therapy session, because we had to just dig deeper into my story than I had ever done before. She listened to my talk a million times, was my rock when I got frustrated, and pushed me to do better.
