“Melissa is a truly passionate and engaging presenter and practitioner in community engagement. Her experience and insights from her journey establishing Top Blokes were not only inspiring but provided our members with a range of tools to enable them to engage with and mobilise their communities to plan and prepare for natural disasters."

Melissa appeared as a guest panelist at the RDA Regional Summit, hosted by Q&A's Tony Jones. Melissa spoke about community development, women's leadership in business, government and community sectors and how to engage Gen Y in innovative ways.
“Melissa is a regular speaker at our 2-day leadership camp for 14-17 year olds. She has a great personality that the students readily warm to. Her sessions are filled with laughter and fun. Her topic "My Life is Like a Cheeseburger" is far from trivial and challenges the students to consider the role of themselves and those around them. We receive a lot of comments from parents after the camp which refer directly to Melissa's presentation. Additionally, the students rating of Melissa on a feedback sheet is consistently 10 out of 10.
