about me

I've spent nearly 20 years working across health and community sectors. What I've learnt is simple: sustainable change happens when the people affected help design the solutions.

Across my career, I've specialised in program design, strategy development, leadership, capacity building, stakeholder engagement and partnerships. This work has secured major funding, achieved national accreditation standards, contributed to regulatory and systems change and delivered programs with positive outcomes.

My approach centres community voices and lived experience, bringing these together with research evidence, policy, population health data and stakeholder expertise to create solutions that actually work in the real world. I've worked across mental health, gender equity, rural health, climate change, chronic disease prevention, prevention of gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health and disability inclusion.

Now as a consultant, I help organisations design strategies, programs, training, engagement approaches and resources, strengthen implementation and learning and support broader systems change.
