About Chanel Olive MC
(Master of Ceremonies)

Known for my warm and positive presence, I bring energy, professionalism, and a welcoming atmosphere to every event, bridging cultures and adapting gracefully to any unexpected changes. Hosting is more than a role — it’s a passion. I care deeply about bringing your vision to life and creating meaningful moments, and it’s an honour to support you in making your occasion everything you’ve dreamed of.

I host a wide range of events, including:

Corporate – Conferences, launches, awards, and business functions.

Weddings – Receptions with optional ceremony assistance.

All Events – Galas, charity and community events, university balls, and social gatherings.

I provide event management, including run sheet and script development and on-the-day coordination, addressing a need I’ve observed at many events.

I also offer media presenting, drawing on experience hosting a TV show, presenting for a TV commercial, and providing voice-over for radio campaigns, bringing professionalism and personality to every engagement.

With over half a decade of experience, beginning my career in the Philippines, I’ve worked with clients and venues including Hume City Council, Queen Victoria Market, Crown Melbourne, Marvel Stadium, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC), National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Eureka 89, Victoria University, The Trust Melbourne, CSIRO, Greater Dandenong Council, and Marnong Estate, ensuring every event is smoothly run and memorable.

My TEDx Is Out Now Globally

Dying to Belong (Striving to find belonging) is a powerful and deeply personal TEDx talk about the hidden cost of trying to fit in and my journey to finding myself. Growing up Australian-Filipino in regional Australia in the 90s, I spent years reinventing myself to earn belonging through appearance, achievement, and approval. What began as a desire to fit in slowly turned into striving, self-rejection, and an eating disorder that nearly cost me my life.

Through four defining seasons: Belonging, Striving, Acceptance, and Wholeness, I share my story of struggle, survival, and transformation. With honesty, faith, and hope, I aim to inspire audiences to reconsider what it truly means to belong and to have the courage to flourish, align with their purpose, and dream boldly at any stage of life.
