Here’s a little insight into how I work and interact with people.

Pleasingly, there’s consistency across the personality profiles I’ve collected over the years! I always take the opportunity to reflect and learn, building emotional and relational intelligence.

As a values-led business leader, and an advocate for ethical marketing + clear, empathetic communication and real-world sustainability, I’m self-driven, curious and collaborative, with high integrity and strong stakeholder management skills.

My colleagues, peers, clients and friends recognise me for my capacity for empathy, diplomacy and being a deep-thinking human with insightful contributions.

I pay my humble respects to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded. I acknowledge the Melukerdee people of tahunè-linah (Huon River) and the Lyluequonny people of the Far South, the Traditional Custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work in beautiful Lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. I extend my respect to all palawa/pakana People throughout the state and recognise that it always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
