Invite Sandra to speak or for interview
Sandra speaks to community meetings, conferences, festivals, branches and broadcasters, and is available for podcast, radio, print and television interviews. She speaks from direct experience on the ground and from three decades inside government, policing and national security.
Sandra speaks for free. Nobody paid us to write this book or to build this website: no third party, no company and no interest group. To Save a Beach was written in six months, and the work behind it was done by volunteers, self funded.
