Patrick lived his life as a refugee for over 10 years in Kakauma Refugee camp. As a young child, He always had a reoccurring dream, this dream was to live in a place where there wasn’t constant death. Where He could eat as much as his heart and stomach desired, without worrying about what to eat the next day. One day, Patrick received a once in a lifetime ticket. An opportunity per say, a dream come true, to migrate to Australia. He thought this was it! However, he would soon learn that the grass isn't necessarily greener on the other side. Hire Patrick and hear a tale of hope, perseverance and self-belief. A young mans treacherous journey from a refugee to an Australian citizen.

Patrick was fantastic and very engaging. He shared his story with enthusiasm and really had the entire group engaged the entire way through. It was certainly eye opening to hear about his journey and see his passion for life. I would recommend him for any business or school group, specifically for bridging the cultural divide. Thanks Patrick.

Anti- Bullying:
As someone who has overcome personal experiences with bullying, I am driven to make a positive impact on the lives of young students and equip them with the tools they need to overcome adversity.
I understand the challenges that schools face in addressing bullying and fostering a safe, inclusive environment for students. That's why I’m dedicated to providing engaging and impactful motivational talks that instill resilience, empower students, and promote a culture of kindness within your school community.
My presentations are carefully designed to resonate with students of varying ages and backgrounds. By drawing on my personal experiences, I strive to create a highly relatable and memorable experience for your students. I firmly believe that resilience is a key factor in combating bullying, and through my talks, I inspire students to discover their own inner strength and encourage them to embrace empathy and kindness toward one another.
What sets me apart is my interactive approach. Rather than simply delivering a lecture, I create an engaging environment that captivates students' attention and encourages active participation. Through thought-provoking discussions, interactive exercises, and real-life anecdotes, I leave a lasting impression on your students, inspiring them to be agents of positive change in their school and community.
I have a working with Children Blue Card.
