“Kim is an absolute rockstar, she brought such a brilliant element of professionalism, personality and charm to our event. We were lucky to have her!”

Andi Lucas, Support Event Manager, Australian Industrial Hemp

Kim was brilliant; I could not fault her. By far the best MC I have ever worked with. She took on everything I said and added in her own flare. She was equally professional and funny, lots of wit. I am hoping to use her again.
