Testimonials
Engineering NZ Awards 2021Kara was an absolute pleasure to deal and brought a lot of energy to our virtual awards show. She was professional and engaging and able to bring the awards to life even though she was communicating with everyone virtually. Her presentation skills are excellent and being able to incorporate te reo into the awards was extremely important for us. I would highly recommend her for any event where you want to bring personality, warmth and professionalism to the night.
