About me

Founded in social justice, my purpose in life is to make a difference - for leaders, their teams and their organisations.

I use my deep and broad experience as a leader to build up For-Purpose organisations and the people within them.

I have worked extensively in the social justice and community sectors, with my contributions as the CEO of the Refugee Advice and Casework Service being recognised in 2018, when I co-won the AFR 100 Women of Influence, Social Enterprise and NFP award.

As a consultant, I have:

  • partnered with boards to develop impact strategies

  • developed communication and fundraising strategies

  • supported diverse organisations with advice and project delivery on advocacy, strategy, community engagement, leadership and fundraising

  • built a model for a social enterprise to assist young people at risk of homelessness achieve greater independence

Coaching is a natural fit.

I love working with people. I love working with leaders in purpose driven organisations. I love making a difference.

My extensive and deep experience is a foundation for my transformational coaching.

A member of the International Coach Federation (ICF), I abide by the ICF code of ethics.

My happy place is camping at Depot Beach and planning the next travel adventure.

Family is my joy, and that includes my 2 labradors.

Coaching has brought so much self-reflection into my life.

I grow through listening to others, being curious, and co-exploring with my clients to discover what matters most to them.

    Informed by  intentional change theory and developmental growth theory, my coaching will nurture possibility thinking,  self-reflection and most importantly, self-compassion.
