My Story

I’ve always believed in the power of equity — not just as a principle, but as a practice.

​

My professional goal is to lead the achievement of global gender equity. But at a personal level, my mission runs deeper: to have a positive impact on one billion lives. That might sound ambitious — and it is — but every workshop, audit, conversation, and system shift adds up. I’m here for the long game.

​

My path to this work has been shaped by both lived experience and deep research. After completing a PhD on gender equity in the mining industry, I saw firsthand how policy, culture, and leadership often fail to align — and how much potential is unlocked when they do. I’ve since worked across government, industry, and the not-for-profit sector to help turn good intentions into real change.

​

What I bring to the table is a mix of insight and action — academic rigour without the jargon, practical tools without the tick-boxes. I work with people who are serious about making equity more than a statement.

Based in Western Australia, I’m raising a family of future changemakers and building a body of work that’s local in delivery and global in ambition.

​

This work is personal. It always has been.
