PUBLIC SPEAKING

Vanessa has presented at conferences, spoken at events and participated in panels from coast to coast for over a decade. Vanessa is an engaging, experienced and unique presenter who applies authenticity and vulnerability to her speaking engagements.

She mainly speaks as an expert in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, discussing the intersection of ones personal and professional identity, telling the story of social entrepreneurship that created a national not-profit, and/or sharing elements of her lived experience as a queer woman of colour in STEM.

Vanessa is happy to discuss speaker fee pricing with for-profit corporations and event services, and will support local student-led initiatives and non-profit organizations with alternative options.
