Love Stories from Glenfalloch

“Natarsha Bamblett’s Acknowledgement of Country at each of the 3 events at the MAV Technology conference where I was MC, was always fresh, appropriate for the setting and engaged and educated the audience. She made the audience feel like they were really part of the acknowledgement and not just observing. I would highly recommend it”
