I am an impact orientated strategic and collaborative leader with extensive experience in public service and the community sector. I have co-designed and delivered innovative and inclusive policy, action plans, initiatives, and services. Evidence driven with a focus on human rights and social justice, I am trauma informed and have extensive experience navigating complex issues in politically nuanced environments.
I’ve led projects combining strategic planning, policy development, action research, service design, program evaluation and regulatory compliance. An accomplished community development practitioner, I am driven by the principles of social justice, equity and inclusion and was awarded a Masters of Community Development from UNSW with a focus on policy, governance, needs assessment, rights-based project design, and program monitoring and evaluation.
As an accredited Organisational Coach, I build strong foundations of trust and psychological safety in teams and is highly attuned to what motivates individuals and what elevates their performance. My PhD candidacy in socially engaged practice from UTS enabled me to explore methods of participation and refine research and writing skills.
