I grew up in the south west of Western Australia and now call Melbourne home. I have worked as a consultant both privately and through consulting services. This has given me experience with different types of organisations, a diverse range of communities, and rural and remote locations across Australia.

I enjoy learning about new organisations and what they are working to achieve for their clients and I enjoy getting to know the staff behind these organisations. I also love data.

Professionally I have over 15 years experience in the areas of evaluation and research across government, research and service sectors. I began my career in the field of public health and early childhood development which has since extended to a range of fields including child and family wellbeing, mental health and societal impacts. I am driven to reduce the injustice and inequality within Australia. 

I have authored and contributed to a number of publications and peer reviewed academic papers.
