I am a highly motivated community relations professional, with nearly 20 years management experience specialising in strategic communications, stakeholder engagement and sponsorship management. After forging a successful, decade long career managing recreation/theme parks across Australia and into South East Asia, I began pursuing roles in Western Australia’s booming resources industry. My extensive leadership skills lead to several senior management positions with mining companies such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. Most recently I spent the past two years working to engage with the local community and key stakeholder groups to raise awareness of and interest in API’s West Pilbara Iron Ore Project.
