Catrin Pugh is an inspirational speaker and one of the only adults in the world to survive burns to 96% of her body following a catastrophic coach accident at 19.
Now living with a visible difference, visual impairment, and limb difference, she brings a powerful and deeply human perspective to conversations around resilience, identity, confidence, and adaptation.
Her talks are honest, engaging, and shaped in the room — connecting with audiences in a way that challenges perception, builds understanding, and leaves a lasting impact.
