“It was such a pleasure working with Marla. She was invited as a guest speaker to talk with our young leaders on "How To Use Social Media For Good". She was engaging, relatable, transparent, and highly encouraging. The students resonated so much with her talk and with how she engaged them in the conversation that they did not want her time to end. Marla is full of passion and makes an intentional effort to ensure her audience leaves feeling empowered to make a difference in the community. You will not be disappointed with selecting her for your next event- she will over deliver!”
