Clients

“Ali is an outstanding educator and presenter. Her Speaking of Money workshops for our Year 10, 11 and 12 students at CGGS were both practical and engaging. Supporting students to be financially literate in both knowledge and strategies to enable them to act with confidence now and into the future is such an important skill to provide young people with and Ali's educational and industry expertise, coupled with her natural rapport with young people, enables her to sequence and pitch this content at exactly the right level and in exactly the right way for students. We're rapt to be working with Ali and look forward to our continued relationship in this important space.”
