“Ria is one of the most incredible talents you can have the privilege of working with. I have been fortunate to work with Ria for a couple of years where she has hosted the Promax Awards for me - this is no mean feat and Ria makes it look so easy and effortless. She is collaborative in the prep, working with you to learn about the entrants and companies attending, weaving personal details into the script. She is so unbelievably professional working hand in hand with the crew on site to ensure a seamless show. She has the guest experience at the heart of what she does which makes her performance on the night stand out every time. In addition to this Ria has such a passion for the media and entertainment industry and especially empowering women to succeed - it really is amazing to work with Ria.”
