PUBLIC SPEAKING – INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

One of my greatest passions is sharing the value of water and the excitement of STEM with young people.

 

I believe that by sparking curiosity early, we can inspire future engineers, scientists, and leaders to explore how water shapes our world and how they can be part of solving tomorrow’s challenges. 

I enjoy connecting with students in a relatable way, bringing real-world stories, interactive ideas, and a sense of possibility into the classroom.

Talk Options for Schools:

  • The Journey of Water: An engaging look at how water gets from rivers and reservoirs to our taps, and why it’s one of the world’s most precious resources.
     

  • Engineering Our Future: Exploring what engineers do, how they solve problems, and why engineering is about creativity, teamwork, and making a difference.
     

  • Women in STEM: A personal story of resilience, curiosity, and pursuing a career in engineering, showing students that anyone can belong in STEM.
     

  • From Colombia to Australia – A Migrant Engineer’s Journey: Sharing my experience of moving across the world to follow my passion, and the lessons learned along the way.
     

  • Why Water Matters: A conversation about the big water challenges we face: climate change, scarcity, and sustainability, and how young people can be part of the solutions.
