I am a highly organised Program Manager & Facilitator specialising in Women’s Empowerment and Social Justice within Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities. After many years working in predominantly gender-focused NGOs, my experiences expand across a variety of industries, cultures and countries. Merging my community development and marketing/ events backgrounds allows me to effectively execute program initiatives & engage external stakeholders without compromising impact or ethics. I use culturally appropriate, trauma-informed, facilitation and coaching methods, in one-on-one of group settings, to deliver professional & personal development workshops to (often vulnerable) communities or staff. My unique talent is my ability to not only build lasting relationships with stakeholders but form meaningful connections with people from all walks of life and lift the energy in the room.I have absolutely loved working with people seeking asylum, aspiring entrepreneurs, LGBTQI+ & Women’s Rights activists, incarcerated women and indigenous communities, and I continue to be inspired by the many communities that community development workers can learn from.
