Jessie Wu

Jessie has over 18 years of experience in both New Zealand and international media as a TV presenter and producer. Once considered one of Auckland’s most powerful presenters, she transitioned into education a decade ago and has since become a passionate and inspiring public speaking coach.

Jessie is the founder of CubeeKiz Speech & Journalism School, where she developed a unique bilingual teaching system tailored to students growing up in multilingual environments. What sets Jessie apart is her ability to bridge classroom learning with real-world opportunities. She believes language should not only be taught, it should be lived. Through hands-on experiences, she helps students apply what they learn, using communication to build confidence, leadership, and long-term success. Her students have earned national and international awards and scholarships, and many have become sought-after speakers and media hosts across New Zealand. Jessie is also the visionary behind The GreatTalk Speech and Debate Competition, leading top students to the New Zealand Parliament to have their voices heard by MPs and Ministers.

Moreover, Jessie is a certified teacher with Speech NZ and a frequent judge at major competitions. Her professionalism and dedication have earned her the deep trust of students and parents alike. In addition, she is the director and producer of the New Zealand International Children’s Gala, supporting the Starship Foundation and Radio Lollipop. Jessie also serves as a Zero Waste Advisor for Auckland Council, promoting sustainability through events.
