With more than 20 years’ experience in marketing and communications, I have led brand, marketing and communications strategies across education, property and professional services, helping organisations strengthen their reputation, grow their market position and connect more effectively with their audiences.

My experience spans strategic planning, brand development, digital marketing, communications, media, events, stakeholder engagement and team leadership. I enjoy developing strategy, but I believe the best outcomes come from staying close to the work. From shaping direction to delivering the detail, I take a practical, hands-on approach and work collaboratively to turn ideas into results.

I have led multidisciplinary projects, major brand initiatives and organisational change, working closely with executive teams, agencies and external partners to deliver integrated marketing and communications outcomes. My strength lies in combining strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping organisations build strong brands, improve engagement and achieve sustainable growth. I am equally comfortable setting direction, solving problems and rolling up my sleeves to get the job done.
