Keynote
Narrative-driven headline talks for conferences, galas, executive summits, and institutional convenings, ranging 20 to 60 minutes.
Two TEDx talks and more than 80 appearances at conferences, universities, companies, and foundations.
I speak across a wide range of events, from company summits and foundation boardrooms to youth conferences and university convocations. My TEDx talk, Curiosity Is Your Birthright, is the one most audiences know.
Audiences describe me as direct and easy to follow. I draw on my science background and on the experience of building an organization from the ground up.
Narrative-driven headline talks for conferences, galas, executive summits, and institutional convenings, ranging 20 to 60 minutes.
Expert panelist and skilled moderator. Brings structure, depth, and the right kind of candour to complex conversations.
Conversational formats for executive retreats, donor evenings, and board dinners. Designed for intimate, high-stakes rooms.
Convocation and commencement addresses. My 2022 address at Mount Saint Vincent University led to an honorary doctorate, and I've been invited back since.
The art and discipline of scaling a mission-driven organization, and the leadership muscles required at each stage of growth.
Why a child's postal code should never determine their relationship with science, and what institutions must do differently.
Moving beyond symbolic gestures toward structural, community-led change that genuinely reflects the communities served.
How mission-driven organizations build durable funding, infrastructure, and the capacity to absorb scale without losing their soul.
The idea behind my TEDx talk: that curiosity is not a privilege but a birthright, and institutions should act accordingly.
Lessons from a decade of national media work on making complex ideas accessible without making them small.
“Your remarks and insights stood out to our participants as urgent, immediate, and relevant. Equity and access in STEM is frequently a topic of discussion, but it is rarely described in such direct, concrete, and actionable terms.”
“You can literally see the mind shift in the young visionaries she is looking to inspire. Her presentation is more of an invitation to continue walking the journey with her.”
“How she authentically connects with the audience every time and shares her experience in a way that makes listeners take note, take heed, and take action.”
“She is one of one, and I love that she leans into that fact unapologetically. Her stories captivated the room and left attendees both inspired and activated.”
“What started as an idea brainstormed on a patio meeting soon became the standout TEDx talk that got an audience of hundreds on their feet, with science in their minds and inspiration in their hearts.”
“Many of our conference attendees commented that Eugenia's keynote was the best part of the conference. Working with her to plan the session was a breeze, thoughtful, communicative, prepared.”
“Her presentation was truly distinctive and unique, an overall speaker rating of 9.3 out of 10, which is a very high score.
