NALINA TRAN
EVENT MC & COMMUNICATION COACH
About me
I’m Nalina Tran, an event MC, speaker and communication coach based in Sydney and Adelaide.
With a background producing content for the leading Australia publications news.com.au, Vogue Australia, and GQ, I’ve spent my career at the intersection of storytelling, branding and pop culture.
On stage, brands recognise me for wit, charm, and dangerously quick banter. Behind the scenes, I am a strategic partner, coaching women and CALD professionals who navigate the complexities of leadership, utilising their lived experiences and cultural nuances as their greatest storytelling superpower.
My goal is simple: to make sure every audience member and every client I coach leaves feeling like showing up was the best decision they made all day.
