I help organisations & individuals navigate change
My Work
Strategy Advisor. Business Consultant. Career Coach.

As a professional business consultant I partner with entrepreneurs and executives to provide a strategic, tailored and innovative approach to enhancing their organisational impact.
With over 20 years of diverse experience in corporate, not-for-profit and government sectors (including international aid, education and financial services), I am recognized for my dynamic leadership in transformation, marketing and operational excellence. My work spans esteemed Australian organisations such as the Commonwealth Bank, World Vision, Salvation Army and the NSW Government.
I am deeply passionate about the intersection of business and social impact, and believe that cross-sector collaboration is key to solving wicked problems and driving positive outcomes in our world.
I hold an MBA (Social Impact) from AGSM - UNSW Business School, a Graduate Diploma in Computing & Information Technology and a Bachelor of Economics (Social Sciences).
My Life
Together with my husband and our children, we call Australia home. I drink copious amounts of tea, love exploring our local backyard and travelling the globe. So far my travel adventures have spanned Asia, USA, Europe, Middle East & the Pacific Islands. Learning more languages is also on the list - now that I have finished my MBA!
I care about advancing education, eradicating poverty and seeing a more diverse and inclusive world.
