Bio
Joanne McNeill
I have worked with Nicola at Metagenics ANZ for just over five years, and more recently as her manager. Nicola has always been a pleasure to work with; she is professional and very supportive of team members. Nicola is a skilled presenter, with a warm, well-paced and knowledgeable approach. She has a good clinical understanding of complementary and natural medicine (CAM), and her work is always steeped in empathy for patients and CAM practitioners. This, along with her thorough research, made her an asset to the Clinical Education Team. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicola to any company for her professionalism, technical ability, research and communications skills.

I have worked with Nicola for over seven years, including having the privilege of being Nicola's manager. Nicola was a valuable member of our education team and admired by all she worked with. Nicola is diligent, thoughtful, and professional in every task she works on. Nicola is an outstanding educator with the ability to speak eloquently to both small intimate crowds and large audiences alike. We always received glowing feedback from seminar attendees on Nicola's ability to connect with and educate the audience. I leaned upon Nicola for her well-developed editing skills and always found she would volunteer her services for any task we required in Clinical Education. I would highly recommend Nicola to any company that wanted to benefit from her autonomy, organisational skills, technical ability, empathy, and excellent communication skills.
