Expert Host
I keep audiences engaged and the schedule on track, ensuring the day runs smoothly. Because I understand the sectors I work in—from HVAC to heavy vehicles—my links are substantive, not just filler. I listen for the 'so what' in every session, making sure I’m always asking the right questions.
-

Panel Moderator
I approach every panel with a journalist’s eye. My goal is to make sure each answer flows into the next, following up when necessary and making sure the audience gets real value from the session. I’m there to make your experts look good while ensuring we address the big industry topics.
-

Speaker
I deliver talks that bridge the gap between technical industry and human performance. I don’t do corporate fluff. My talks focus on why high-performance, technical industries need neurodivergent thinkers and what needs to be done to encourage more women into male-dominated sectors.
