A unique edge: burdens or blessings?

As a child with an unusual form of dyslexia, Marianna developed an innate ability to simplify complex ideas to make sense of them. Remarkably, she could only write upside down, giving her a unique perspective that influences her approach to communication today.

In 2017, she suddenly lost 50% of her hearing. A devastating loss. But her hearing loss taught her what it really means to listen.

These burdens have not only become blessings – but superpowers when it comes to communication thought leadership for today’s world.

What really sets Marianna apart is her background as a professional actor.
