He made the year level listen to what he had to say, he expressed emotion and made the crowd feel that emotion. He was extremely funny which also lightened the mood.

CARMEN

Nathan is young, dynamic and humourous. These factors allowed him to establish an instantaneous rapport with our students. His presentation was balanced between funny stories, delivery of ‘the facts’ and heartfelt anecdotes. He is someone that students can readily identify with and this makes what he has to say, even more powerful. He kept a room full of students engaged and participating for the full hour. We’d have him back again!
