Great things in business are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people. ~ Steve JobsCollaboration, emotional intelligence, continuous learning and lateral thinking are the cornerstone traits that have propelled my career journey – one that has seen me lead strategy, drive transformative change and empower people to achieve their unrealised potential. An accomplished leader with over two decades of expertise in project management, operations, strategic communications, complex stakeholder engagement and agile leadership, I have cultivated a passion for taking on challenges and tackling them with a genuine approach that values authenticity, ingenuity, and curiosity. One of the most noteworthy career achievements has been my unwavering dedication as a Reservist, where I served as a Strategic Communications Advisor and Public Affairs Officer with the Royal Australian Air Force for over 16 years. Throughout this extensive tenure, I had the privilege of spearheading a range of tactical and operational projects, as well as providing oversight for critical policy, risk management, and governance initiatives.In my current role as Senior Consultant, my expertise includes managing a complex program of work to ensure delivery of cutting-edge technology and capability for the ADF. I believe a key contributor to my career success is the way I mentor and empower people to drive an engaged, values-driven team that fosters collaboration, respect and accountability. An example of this was during SA Health, where I led a high-performance team with multi-disciplinary skills that received the SA Premier award for Innovation during COVID-19.Ultimately, a successful career for me means pursuing roles that support my professional and personal growth and allow me to make a meaningful impact. I thrive in fast-paced environments where I can apply my strategic thinking, problem-solving abilities, and excellent communication skills. I am open to exploring roles in the Defence Industry, APS EL2, private sector aged care and General Manager/Executive positions as my next career step.Career specialties and highlights:• Travelled around Australia presenting to schools and community groups promoting women and First Nation Australians pursuing non-traditional employment roles in STEM.• Guest speaker at Adelaide University in 2021 for the Women in Space mentoring program.• Building a library of learning including Diploma in Project Management, Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management, MBA specialising in Project Management to name a few.
