I have dedicated my adult life to community service, through Rovers and Scouts, the ADF, and by keeping kids and adults safe in the water as a swim teacher. While I enjoy engaging in big ideas and breaking down complex issues to help build understanding, my pride has been in the practical outcomes I’ve delivered for the organisations and people that I’ve helped. I promise my positive, but pragmatic perspective will be a valuable addition to any organisation or team that wants to make a difference to members, customers or their community.I learn through challenge, debate and by embracing new ideas and opportunities, sometimes far outside of my comfort zone This has built my resilience, maturity and my awareness. I am keenly interested in a broad range of subjects, beyond my studies in media and the environment. My love of philosophy and my experience in project management equip me to embrace diversity, encourage different opinions and debate ideas, with the goal of inclusion, synergy and achieving the best outcomes. My experience in marketing and communications helps me engage both the mind and heart, and can motivate people to action. Working within the system to create positive change has been my mantra, at Scouts, UNSW and in other roles, but I have much to learn. My ideas and success so far stand on the “shoulders of giants”, on ancient philosophies, recent thinkers, and a diversity of mind, culture and experience. I offer: • Project management and teamwork, bringing people together with purpose• Demonstrated excellent communication skills (verbal, written, reports, technology and multi-media)• Strives to understand human and organisational needs and challenges• Independently motivated to solve problems through research & collaboration• Committed to service, working with people to improve understanding and systems, to help achieve important social, environment and organisational goals.• Breadth of interests, bringing together media, culture, technology, environmental humanities and philosophy, to help teams, organisations and communities
