We're a brand new (as of Oct 4/24) non-profit that aims to uplift the profession of public speaking in Nova Scotia. As we grow we'll be offering an online registry of members, and professional learning opportunities.
When it comes to multiple talents & topics, Heather Abbott is THE textbook example. She`s a CPA who leads from the heart, and also a Fairyologist-yep, she studies fairies & their stories!
Heather is just the right mix of practical & whimsical for any event.
