Public speaking and panels - also known as Reni IRL.

As a seasoned storyteller with an extensive track record in public speaking, I mix humour with empathy in my presentations to connect with many audiences.

I know a lot about stuff like finding identity, mental health, creativity, memes and internet culture. 

Look below at some of the past events where I've appeared as a speaker or panellist and said at least one interesting insight.

Sharing my experiences of working in brand social, talking about the fascinating history and transcultural nature of memes, and how they've become a universal language shared and evolved by people worldwide. I also emphasised the importance of authenticity when engaging with an increasingly discerning audience that expects nothing less than honest content.
