Testimonials

Creative Director

Classic Exhibits Inc.

Sandy is the ultimate professional speaker, so engaging, well-spoken and passionate about sharing her expertise for networking, mentoring and building a personal brand. I hired Sandy as our special guest speaker for the Women In Exhibitions networking breakfast event at ExhibitorLIVE 2019, and her presentation was on point for our group as we work to establish a mentorship program. Many of the 150 women in attendance raved about Sandy and stood in line to talk to her afterward. Her bright and outgoing personality made working with her easy and fun. You are in very capable hands if you hire Sandy as a speaker for your event!

The fact that her style, content, and messages resonated with students hailing from 120 different countries is a testament to her skill as a facilitator and subject matter expert. I highly recommend her services to anyone ready to level up their social brand.
