MC, Panel, Speaking and Facilitation

I am a skilled host, award-winning speaker and facilitator with confidence, inclusion and lived experience at the centre.

Whether you need a skilled MC to guide an event, a thoughtful facilitator for a complex conversation, or a speaker who brings lived experience and strategy together, I can help. I bring warmth, clarity and purpose to every space I’m in — whether it's a room of ten people or a conference of hundreds.

I work with unions, not-for-profits, educators, community organisations and event teams to make sure events are impactful, inclusive and engaging for everyone involved.

Okay, but what is this service?

Good question! It is exactly as it says in the name - I can be your next MC, Panelist, Speaker or Facilitator.

This service covers a range of roles where someone is needed to lead a room, guide a conversation or bring insight and energy to an event. Every engagement is tailored to suit your audience, purpose and tone.

You might need someone to:

  • Emcee or co-host a conference or event

  • Facilitate a panel, roundtable or workshop

  • Speak on topics like disability, access, inclusion, policy or organising

  • Support a discussion that involves lived experience or marginalised communities

If you’re not sure what you need, I’m happy to help you shape it.

I bring experience across sectors, formats and audiences — always with a focus on clarity, access and connection. Whether hosting high-energy events or guiding reflective conversations, I adapt my approach to meet the moment.

Highlights include:

  • Presentation speaker at national youth conferences, speaking on inclusion, disability justice, and accessible organising.

  • Panelist and moderator in forums on inclusive policy, accessible communications and cross-movement organising across the union, not-for-profit and community sectors.

  • Internal facilitator for values-based team conversations on equity, access and cultural change.
