It turns out that introverts CAN love public speaking! Melissa has done it all, from MCing events, to hosting awards nights, delivering keynote speeches, moderating panels and speaking at festivals and other public events. Her ability to blend humour, wit and emotion while keeping an eye on the time is a valuable skill set she uses to drive conversation while maintaining structure for clients and engagement for audiences alike. From dozens to thousands, Melissa’s ability to connect with people is innate.

Melissa has delivered keynote speeches for UN Women, Mecca Cosmetica, Future Women, Asian Business Leaders Australia and the City of Brimbank. She has spoken at The Wheeler Centre, SXSW Sydney, Brisbane, Sorrento and Queenscliffe Writer’s Festivals and has hosted large scale live events including Jamie Oliver live at Sydney Opera House, Marie Claire’s International Women’s Day, Witchery OCRF White Shirt Day, The Asia Pacific Arts Awards, The Australian International Documentary Awards, Accor Hotels, Le Creuset’s 100th Anniversary.
