‘It was lovely to have Louise MC The Edna Ryan Awards 2022. She pitched her anchoring of the event perfectly and is a true professional. She also helped to publicise the Awards on her social media.’
‘She was a delight to have on the show…she was very very engaging in what she was saying, how she was saying it and how she was presenting herself, so I highly recommend Louise to go onto your podcast, to go in as a speaker, she knows her stuff, she’s got a great story there.’
