Sarah's attention to detail, thorough preparation, and genuine passion for her craft were evident when MCing our recent conference. Sarah is a true professional and a joy to work with.
The perfect MC for our sports tech industry conferences. More than 1,000 attendees, Sarah did great keeping the audience engaged. I was impressed by how well she adapted to industry specific content, and stepping in, late notice, to moderate a sports broadcast panel.
Sarah was firstly hired as on-screen talent for an Anaconda Snow Campaign, and then as a VO artist for a number of Woolworths content pieces. Yes, she's professional and nails the brief every time, but more importantly she's a great communicator and fun to work with, and this is why we keep coming back for more!
