Author, Public Speaker, Blogger + Podcast Host
Hey! Chiara here, multi-passionate creative. I’m the founder of chiaragoesglobal.com, host of The chiaragoesglobal Podcast, a lifestyle blogger, and an award-winning author. My previous work in higher education as a public speaker built a strong foundation. I presented at schools across the country and internationally for over 5 years. This background provided a seamless transition to becoming a podcast host, and for further speaking engagements. I launched my book in spring 2023, hosting 3 events across the country and an additional 2 book signings - spanning coffee shops, community centres, independent bookstores, and local Indigo locations in BC and ON. Since launching, I've been featured in nearly a dozen publications including news articles, TV interviews, and podcast episodes. In late 2023, I was named the Winner of the 2023 Poetry Category in The Canadian Book Club Awards. Now an award-winning author, I'm hoping to share my book with an even bigger audience. My book, Blooming: Poetry for Seasons of Change, focuses on topics of growth, grief, and mental health. It's a great fit for young adults who are navigating changes in their lives, struggling with mental health, and/or grief. I'm hoping to further discuss these topics with your audience.
