About Tara Diversi

Tara Diversi is a Independent Chair - Macadamia and Avocado SIAP Committees at Hort Innovation. She possess expertise in nutrition, public speaking, entrepreneurship, dietetics, public health and 37 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I've known Tara for a long time, but we've only recently worked together professionally. To be blatantly honest, I've always been a little jealous of her illustrious resume. I've found Tara's intelligence and honesty to be so useful for my business. She's very adroitly pointed out where I needed to grow, what I would be better served outsourcing, and put me in contact with people who can help with each next step. I've been accused of my inability to 'suffer fools gladly'; and my shortcomings in this area have not hindered my capacity to work with Tara. She's intelligent both traditionally and practically, and I'm impressed with her ability to cut to the quick with grace. She will learn. She'll help. And she'll be sure to have fun doing it.", "Tara could possibly be the smartest person I know. Her academic resume speaks for itself, but it is her 'street smarts' that sets her apart. Dynamic enough to match the hustle-bustle of any city CBD, but grounded enough to communicate to trades or the country, Tara is a person people gravitate towards, and audiences fall in love with. Without question I think she is a superstar; I'm sure after booking her you will think so as well.", and "I have had the pleasure of hearing Tara speak several times. She is an impressive business woman who clearly achieves goals she sets for herself. She freely shares her knowledge on how to be successful in business using stories and practical examples. I would not hesitate in recommending her."
