I speak at a wide range of events across Aotearoa. Some highlights include:
National Library – E oho! Understanding Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Multiple library talks - see kōrero at Auckland Library
ACE conference keynote speaker at Te Papa
I bring over 20 years’ experience as a lawyer, author, and educator to my talks, combining expertise, storytelling, and a passion for empowering audiences.
Organisations can book me to deliver keynotes, panels, or workshops tailored for rangatahi, professionals, boards, and wider communities.
My speaking engagements are grounded in my legal expertise, lived experience, and deep empathy for people who feel like they “should already know” about Te Tiriti but don’t. My sessions are engaging, practical, and tailored to each audience.
I speak on topics such as:
Understanding Te Tiriti o Waitangi: separating fact from fiction
Aotearoa’s histories: what we were taught (and what we weren’t)
Empowering workplaces to engage with Te Tiriti
Storytelling and publishing kaupapa-driven books
Resilience and finding purpose after personal adversity
Style
I’m known for my inclusive, encouraging, and down-to-earth style. I create a safe space for people to learn and ask questions without fear of judgment, which makes my sessions a great fit for corporate, educational, and community events alike.
