Having worked in a broad range of sectors and roles, I have accumulated a unique set of experiences, knowledge and transferable capabilities.

I have professional experience in: social/health research, community development, tertiary education, workplace training, local and state government, primary and tertiary health, aged care, social housing, youth work, Aboriginal health, workforce development, strategy & policy, governance, project management, community engagement, arts, event manaement, administration, and more.

Possessing strong communication and writing skills, I have produced high quality documents, including: reports, briefing papers, strategic plans, evaluations, research, presentations, promotional material, training resources, technical content, web content, business planning, media releases, tenders and grant applications.

I can develop and maintain basic websites, and have provided these services to organisations, as well as managing their social media and communications.

Recently, I have had opinion pieces and articles published in Al Jazeera, The Guardian, NITV Online and Indigenous X.

As a published author, freelancing provides me the flexibility to write more novels.
