If you’re an organisation making a positive impact in your community, I’d love to amplify what you do.
I’ve worked with organisations such as Australian Community Support Organisation (ACSO) supporting people who have come into contact with the justice system, the Illawarra Shoalhaven Suicide Prevention Collaborative working towards reducing suicides, The Groundswell Project end of life advocacy organisation, Illawarra-Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD), and others, to launch new projects and resolve reoccurring issues. I work end-to-end, engaging diverse stakeholders to create a shared vision, designing a program, crafting your digital communications strategy, and facilitating key people in meaningful, proactive and ground-breaking conversation to drive change.
With experience in internal training and facilitation, public events, and large-scale communications and engagement projects to the broader community, I work with organisations large and small to amplify what they do.
The through-line in all my work is engaging community in social issues, creating a sense of connection and belonging, and strengthening relationships and cross-community ties.
I work with clients in Melbourne, Sydney, Wollongong and across Australia.
