More about me:

I love to connect and interact with people. Being an emcee gives me a wonderful platform to connect with a live audience. Hence I enjoy my work and give my heart and soul in any of my events.

I always wanted to give the clients and the event managers what they wanted plus what’s the best I can give them to make them more than happy and give great memories to them, their families, relatives and friends. Coming from a Psychology and Corporate background helps me achieve this.
