I’ve had the pleasure of working with Suzie on multiple projects, both for our own AstroAgency events and also in collaboration with partners such as the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), UK Space Agency and Space Scotland (together with Scottish Government). Suzie’s presentation and speaking skills are exceptional, but what further distinguishes Suzie is her level of understanding on such a wide range of topics, particularly in the realm of space and science. Her engaging style, bringing together enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge, is a rare combination and a hugely effective way to entertain and inform groups of any age. Our team love working with her and our event participants are always left impressed! There is simply nobody we’d rather work with.

Thank you very much for joining us as the speaker at our flagship Annual Conference. Your talk was greatly inspiring, given the amount you have achieved. It was equally educational on space exploration and on the mindset needed to overcome challenges. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the audience, who were engaged till the end and appreciated the opportunity to ask questions

Feedback from both your sessions has been phenomenal – really appreciate it. An absolute pleasure to meet you and hear your story!
Hearing the delegates chatting after Suzie’s presentation was great – it was something completely different from what they have experienced before. Thank you to DBA for working with us to bring Suzie to speak.
Suzie was a fantastic addition to our Space & Geospatial Virtual Pavilion for COP26. Suzie chaired three plenary sessions with energy and thoughtful interaction, and the result was quality. We could have run the plenary session as we always do, with a chair introducing a series of presentations and panel discussions but with Suzie onboard we transformed the event into something dynamic, insightful and yet colloquial. Our audience agreed it was a great way to make a difficult subject more personal and digestible. We were so happy to have her [and Dallas] on board that we are now employing her services for a follow-up podcast series
