Are you looking for your next event speaker or workshop facilitator? I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and a love for storytelling to every stage.
With a background in music, teaching, and theatre, I thrive in front of an audience and take pride in crafting engaging and accessible presentations.
Whether it's a keynote, panel, or hands-on workshop, I aim to inform, inspire, and leave attendees with actionable insights.
I've been privileged to speak at a range of events, including:
- MC'ing the main stage at the 2024 Virtual Engineers Summit for Code Like a Girl.
- Producing and delivering multiple events in South Australia for Code Like a Girl, including 'Let's Get Ethical,' 'Unmanning Aviation,' and 'Rebel.'
- Speaking at WordCamp Australia, sharing insights on web development and open source.
- Presenting at the National Librarians Symposium, focusing on the intersection of technology and accessibility.
Workshops have always been a passion of mine, from in-person sessions to large-scale online events:
- Delivered Python and Web Development workshops to diverse audiences, including over 400 Victorian State Government employees (yes, we crashed Code Sandbox together – my apologies to the team there!).
- Created online learning content on topics such as Web Development Foundations, C# Programming, Cybersecurity with Python, and Git Fundamentals.
- Led project groups for Hacktoberfest open-source projects in 2022 and 2023, fostering collaboration and mentorship.
Beyond my technical expertise, my past life as a musician and amateur theatre enthusiast shapes my approach to public speaking. I value clear communication, creativity, and making complex topics approachable.
On a lighter note, I also perform an unforgettable rendition of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' with my toddler, but that's a private show for invited guests only!
If you're interested in having me speak at your event or facilitate a workshop, I'd love to hear from you. Let's create something memorable together!
