About

I am a lover of life and all it has to offer. As an accomplished Communications professional, I take a ‘hands-on’ approach to everything I do. I am energetically even-tempered and naturally an open and collaborative team player. Throughout my 23-year career, I have developed exceptional skills in Marketing Communications, Strategy, Leadership, and Organisational & Relationship Management. I’ve gained valuable experience working with top Global Agencies, Sports Institutes, Brands, and Conservation Foundations and NGOs. I possess a creative and curious mindset, always seeking innovative solutions and taking a proactive approach. As a natural leader and problem-solver, I have a versatile skill set, particularly in exploring new ideas and pushing past boundaries. I believe effective collaboration and strong relationships with all stakeholders are absolutely crucial for achieving success in any organization. It is imperative that everyone involved has a clear understanding of the ultimate goals and objectives. Without this understanding and commitment to working together, success will be impossible to achieve. My goal is to obtain a leadership role in a respected organization, leveraging my passion, expertise, network, and background to create a meaningful impact.
