"At the beginning of my career, I realized something. I noticed that masters of ceremonies were mostly men. I thought it might be a struggle to encourage women to take this path. So I started lobbying and I said that a man who hosts well is just fine. But a woman who presents well and hosts well is definitely better. Because she adds elegance and grace. To young women who want to get involved in this profession, she tells them to bring their personality. Above all, you shouldn't try to look like everyone else."
