"On stage, Samantha has a magnetic warmth allowing me to feel instantly comfortable. She is diligent in her research and astutely aware of audience expectations. I felt confident and calm speaking alongside her (and trust me, I’ve done enough panels, talks, etc. to know what it takes to be a good moderator - and Samantha has got it down!)."
