Sarah Perriam

Sarah Lewis - Carters Tyres conference

“Sarah is a professional and effective MC who delivers warmth to an event and creates a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Any MC that can engage a room full of male tyre professionals for an entire day is impressive! I would definitely recommend Sarah as an MC for any event, regardless of your audience demographic’.

Ross Hyland Author; Our Land Our People.

Sarah Perriam is without doubt New Zealand’s most exciting young rural journalist. We asked Sarah if she would MC the launch of my book…’Our Land Our People’… on the 5th of October 2018 in Hamilton. With over 150 guests attending, the evening was a tremendous success and with so many accomplished speakers that included the Chairman of Beef & Lamb NZ Andrew Morrison along with the Minister of Agriculture the Honourable Damien O’Connor Sarah was under plenty of pressure to deliver.

She managed the role of master of ceremonies with skill, aplomb and humour. Her Te Reo certainly needs some polishing; however with such accomplished Maori linguists in the room as Sue Paharu and Marcus Akuhata-Brown she can be forgiven if compared with these two who can move fluently and effortlessly between both Maori and English. I have no doubt that Sarah’s determination to be not just good, but very good in her chosen fields of endeavour will see her master such skills as Te Reo introductions when and where appropriate.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sarah for such roles as MC for any function, whether they be large or small, formal, informal, or simply gumboots in the field.

This young woman presents well, is articulate and has a passion for agriculture that will see her career continue to flourish.

It was such a pleasure to have Sarah involved in our NZIFF premiere of She Shears. As a passionate female advocate for the rural community I couldn't think of a better person to introduce our film and moderate our Q&A (although she did ask a very difficult question!!).

Throughout the process of making the film it has always been apparent to me how many amazingly capable and determined women are driving the current shift in the rural sector. Our shearers and advocates like Sarah are true role models inspiring all females to follow their passion and not be afraid of still being the minority in their work place. Hopefully our films audience will be inspired!

Sarah was energetic and enthusiastic to work with. Before the event was stress free and easy, allowing her brief to evolve as we saw fit.

She fascinated her audience with yarns from her home, work and audience while keeping these stories relevant to the brief.

Questions after were not a problem, with a knack for carrying a light hearted nature into her answers when the questions were heated.

I would recommend Sarah for speaking and MC roles at any event. Thank you for being part of our evening Sarah.
