Authentic, thought-provoking and engaging talks about plastic, chemicals, the environment and us.

Always geared to the people in the room, whether it's a business event, researcher round table, public stakeholder conference, panel, or children's science talk. Often sharing knowledge and a vision of what we can do with that knowledge.

After hundreds of presentations at scientific conferences and lecturing at  university level, I am accustomed to technical deep dives into chemical, toxicological and risk assessment aspects of plastic and chemical pollution. I have also delivered many custom-made keynotes for the water sector, designers, engineers, shipping industry, law and policy makers, business associations, museums, festivals and other public platforms. 

Communication for understanding is important to me. Whether I'm talking to the press, a podcaster or a live audience, I like to make complex subject matter understandable for my non-expert audiences and find angles that are relatable and inspirational. 

We’ll begin by discussing the goals of your event, allowing me to craft a compelling storyline that complements those goals and connects with your audience.

Looking for a moderator for your conference or stakeholder workshop?
I bring my experience as chair and moderator to help you get the most out of your event. I draw on the positive power of groups to seek out the common ground and understanding. It's about making your meetings matter, facilitating the group in developing a vision and direction for follow-up actions.
