As an authentic, empathetic HR professional who’s operationally focused, my expertise lies in HR transformation and leadership partnering to realise the full potential of your company’s most important resource – your people.

I’ve been fortunate to consult for many notable organisations that foster an environment that’s dynamic, engaging and challenging, where great people do great work and have fun along the way. Working for and with companies such as Netflix, Endemol Shine Australia, Densu, Mandylights, Jaywing, Wattyl and Alex Perry, I’ve been able to establish myself as a commercial, hands-on, pragmatic and collaborative HR specialist.

With key skills in strategic HR planning and execution, performance management, talent acquisition and development and organisational design, I’m able to drive people-led optimisation of your company, which is vital in the ever-changing business landscape.
