About

 

For the past 15 years, I’ve been helping organisations to plan, deliver, understand and solve problems and collaborate better.

I work across diverse sectors, and I have clients in all levels of government, not-for-profits and community groups.

I have a special interest (and bring over ten years of experience) in disaster resilience and recovery.  I’m doing a PhD about how to understand conflict in disaster recovery collaborations.

When I’m not working, I love to climb, hike, garden, paddle, or ride my bike in beautiful Tasmania and further afield. When I’m still, I’ll be reading and spending time with the good people in my life.

My Approach

Practical

 

My work combines knowledge with extensive practical experience.

 

 

Client-focused

 

I ask questions and listen well. I work with you to make a high-quality service or product that meets your needs, on time.

 

Rigourous

 

I apply methods that give informed and clear findings or results to suit you and your circumstances.

 

Warm

 

I am calm and flexible, open and friendly. I work hard to ensure my meetings and workshops are welcoming and participatory.
