Luisa shared some great words of wisdom and experiences with the girls in a fantastic way with short stories and humour which resonated so well with everyone at camp. We would highly recommend having Luisa speak and are so pleased with the way she connected with the girls of Perth College at camp. Thanks Luisa for a fantastic talk!"
