“The event was fantastic, we had really positive feedback from the audience, students involved and their teachers. Everyone was buzzing afterwards. The dynamic between Jacinta and Sami made a world of difference for this year’s iteration of the event. They kept the event rolling so smoothly and made the students feel comfortable with the unique situation.”

Katrina Gubbins, Victoria University

“Jacinta has great energy and a natural ability to excite and keep the audience engaged. She has a blend of light-hearted humour and gravitas which is perfect for The Funding Network live crowd funding events. Jacinta’s professionalism and humour allowed the presenters to feel at ease and she maintained a high level of energy in the room for the whole evening. The role of MC is crucial to a successful event. Asking people to pledge funds publicly requires the expertise of an experienced professional MC. We are delighted to have such a valuable asset to support our events.”
