Georgia Aussenac is the Learner Liaison at The SpeakEasy Cooperative®. She collaborates with our community of artists and educators to create engaging and effective continuing education opportunities, and foster a fun and supportive learning environment for our members. Georgia organizes and facilitates events within our community, such as our Virtual Champagne Brunch Member led trainings, Bookclub, How Do You SECO?, and Co-Working sessions. She loves meeting people from all over the world and connecting with other curious minds.

Georgia is a New Zealander living in France. When she’s not hanging out in SECO, she’s running her boutique online voice studio where she works with individuals to build confidence in their voices. She believes that everyone deserves to have easy access to their voice; that everyone should get to use their voices the way that they wish, with comfort and confidence. Georgia is also the President of the France New Zealand Association and cares deeply about cross-cultural connection and building strong relationships across differences. She comes from a family of eccentric adventurers, which makes for lots of great anecdotes.

Being a mother is her latest adventure, after following her French love to the other side of the world, embracing a new culture, language and lifestyle. She’ll always treasure the vast horizons of New Zealand, but the comfort of a perfectly laminated croissant has become home for Georgia. Talk to her about food, cats, and historical fiction.
