"Marne was the keynote speaker for Nestlé IT's LimITless ERG during Deaf Awareness Month 2024. She captivated the audience with her story, addressed misconceptions about hearing loss, provided valuable insights into different types of hearing loss, and explained cochlear implants. She concluded her speech by offering meaningful advice on how to be a supportive ally and advocate for individuals with hearing loss before a Q&A from the group, many of whom had joined remotely from our international offices including Barcelona and Buenos Aires. I wholeheartedly recommend Marne as a speaker for any group or event!"

Her journey and wisdom not only inspired our teens, but also provided parents with the guidance they need to support their children with hearing loss. Her ability to connect with kids and their parents alike is extraordinary. Through her authentic storytelling and actionable guidance, she brought hope, encouragement, and invaluable insights, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who attended."
