Emcee & Presenter

My passion lies in connecting with audiences through speaking engagements. Whether as an emcee or motivational speaker, my communication style is clear, creative, and convincing. Alliteration is optional; but humour is essential.

Fundraising Strategist

Fundraising is my niche. I work with a variety of non-profits, corporates, and organisations that are interested to solicit prospects and steward donors.

Is your charity in need of a fundraising strategy? Do you need to pull together a fundraiser gala and strike the perfect tone? Let’s collaborate to make your work fun, and not daunting. Together we can develop an impactful fundraising strategy that serves your organisation and resonates with your donors and clients.

thank you to clients and organisations who have worked with me

"What an honor and a privilege it was to have Jennifer as our emcee for our Anniversary Gala in New York! She was incredible to work with every step of the way. Her poise, professionalism, and charisma fostered such a festive atmosphere. It was our most successful fundraiser ever, and Jen played such a huge part in this."

Mags Dillon, Executive Director, Princeton-in-Asia
"Jen consulted for the Rosewood Hotel Group at the genesis of our social impact journey. I loved her energy, creativity, and the discipline that she brought to her work, and how she integrated a passion for social impact with keen business acumen."

Sonia Cheng, CEO of Rosewood Hotel Group & Vice Chairman at Chow Tai Fook Jewellery
"All of us at Mother's Choice are so grateful for Jennifer's incredible service as an emcee at our Gala Dinners! She is a confident and professional speaker who takes the time to prepare and understand what she is presenting. She is a real pleasure to work with."

Alia Marwah Eyres, Former CEO, Mother’s Choice
"Jennifer built a fundraising strategy that resonates with our donor community, by carefully crafting a realistic step-by-step process, and achieved the goals we set from the start. It was an excellent experience underpinned by her strong work ethic and efficient approaches."

James Chau, President, China-United States Exchange Foundation
"Jennifer is an excellent writer. She packs her articles with insight, research, compassion and a generous dose of humour. She writes on topics that are close to her heart, from parenting to social impact and environmental awareness."

Anita Balagopalan, Former Senior Editor, Sassy Mama Hong Kong
"Jen has an innate ability to encourage, guide, and redirect in a way that opens you to new ways of thinking, understand the audience's motivations and behaviours, and stay positive and on track. A small, on-point reframe on an entire speech, or a full-blown edit of fundraising messaging, Jen can bring it all."

Jo Hayes, CEO, Habitat for Humanity Hong Kong
"I can’t thank Jen enough for her great work and ongoing support, and can highly recommend her for any roles where she can use her strong communication skills, passion and leadership to make an impact."

The Significance of Unrestricted Funding for Sustaining an NGO

Would you rather have $100 to spend as you wish, or $1,000 to spend as you’re told? This is an issue NGOs struggle with as they help an increasing number of beneficiaries with decreasing funds. In truth, neither is ideal.

Life Lessons from Chungking Mansions

The Wall family are not a tree-hugging, granola-crunching or crucifix-bearing family with a penchant for extreme experiences. Instead, their family is very much like yours and mine. But this ordinary family undertook an extraordinary feat of compassion when they decided to walk the talk.

Love, Lust and Longing: Valentine's at every stage and every age
