Testimonials for Dr Joanna McMillan
I have been lucky enough to work with Joanna in her capacity as MC, and also as a keynote speaker. Joanna is charismatic, professional and knowledgeable. Her keynote presentation was informative and engaging, and the feedback from our delegates was exceptional. The professionalism and energy that she brings to the MC role was appreciated by the audience and the organisers alike, and I truly felt that I could relax, and that the event was safe in Joanna’s hands. I would highly recommend Joanna as a great addition to any program.
