HIRE ME TO SPEAK
​
​
​​​​
I do event talks and public speaking on topics that include diversity and equity, ocean justice, small-scale fisheries, self-care and resilience, and our blue economy. My work as an events speaker has taken me to academic institutions, global youth advocacy networks, local community groups, and more. It's also one of the ways I afford to be a single mom working in this field.

Work with me to deliver real impact.
Veta is truly a testimony of when intellect is merged with care. Her professionalism and knowledge about marine and coastal ecosystems sets her apart. Her work on marine social justice issues and ensuring intergenerational knowledge are critical for a sustainable blue economy. Veta's community approach to how our oceans are protected and developed is a best practice to be amplified and supported.
Veta's own
resilience to considerable challenges, ability to find a way to sustain her family and passion
to develop her community in the right way is beyond inspirational. We discussed the major
need for ground up frameworks and locally led conservation. These conversations have
provided me with a perspective few have, but all need, when trying to start their own journey
in a sustainability career.
