About Me:
My journey into advocacy began with my daughter’s autism diagnosis, a moment that fundamentally shifted my perspective. As a child, she was non-verbal, which meant we had to learn to communicate in new ways. That experience taught me something important: even those who can speak don’t always know how to effectively use their voice. It showed me that true leadership goes beyond just talking, it's about listening, understanding different perspectives, meeting people where they are at, and rolling up your sleeves to help get the work done. The best leaders don’t just delegate; they actively engage, support their teams, and lead by example.
I’ve always believed in the power of collaboration and genuine engagement. In any decision, there’s no perfect solution.... there’s always a trade-off, a downside to consider. The key is being open to understanding those downsides, asking the right questions, and working together to find ways to mitigate their impact. By being transparent and acknowledging where we stand, I believe we can achieve far more together than we ever could alone.
With a background in business and innovation, I focus on strategic leadership, solving complex problems, and delivering results that truly matter. I’ve led transformations across both public and private sectors, from organisational rebrands to policy overhauls and operational improvements. I thrive on leading big projects, building strong teams, and turning ideas into tangible outcomes that drive real impact.
As General Manager at Youth Voices Action (YVA), I ensure young people have a genuine voice in decisions that affect their futures. Our youth panel plays a critical role in shaping our initiatives and events, helping us deliver what young people truly want, not just ticking a box. Leveraging my operational expertise, I optimise resources and make sure programmes are both efficient and impactful. My role as Director of Public Affairs and my work on various committees and advisory boards have only deepened my commitment to driving meaningful change in our communities.
If you’re someone who shares a belief in the power of genuine engagement and collaboration, let’s connect. I’m always looking to meet with others who are ready to turn ideas into real, lasting impact.
