As a strategic leader in mental health, I am deeply committed to advancing a compassionate, person-centred approach within the mental health system. Currently, as Team Leader for the Lived Experience Telephone Support Service (LETSS) in South Australia, I lead a team of dedicated Lived Experience Peer Support Workers who provide support to individuals navigating mental health challenges. Since joining LETSS, I have spearheaded significant innovations that have transformed our service, enhancing its impact and adaptability to meet evolving community needs.With over 2500 hours of direct psychology practice, an additional 2200 hours in client-related activities, and a management career spanning since 2007—including supervisory roles during my university years—I bring a unique, well-rounded perspective to my work. My leadership philosophy is rooted in inclusivity, justice, and a results-driven commitment to positive outcomes, reflected in consistently high positive feedback rates and quality of service my teams deliver.I am equally passionate about systemic change, proactively addressing service gaps and reimagining mental health care through a lens of equity and accessibility. As I transition towards executive leadership, I am committed to driving innovative, scalable solutions that align with the evolving needs of diverse communities. My vision is a mental health system that is both inclusive and transformative, leading to tangible, life-enhancing outcomes.If you’re interested in exploring how strategic, innovative leadership and compassionate care can shape the future of mental health, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
