My Story & Career So far.

I help people talk about hard stuff more easily.

From Olympic athletes to TEDx speakers, Warner Bros to Australian Government departments - I've got to train 12,000+ people across organisations including NAB, ANZ, BHP, PwC, Telstra, J.P. Morgan, Grant Thornton, Boston Scientific, and 100+ schools.

My journey started young, witnessing my mum’s mental health struggles. Years later, I was present for a dear friend's psychological distress that tragically led to her suicide. Their journeys motivated me to leave an unfulfilling corporate career and throw myself into work I truly believe in.

Through Mental Health First Aid (MHFA), I teach people how to better understand mental health challenges, practice de-escalation skills, and navigate difficult conversations with clarity. Additionally, I design bespoke workshops to strengthen your team's capacity for leadership, psychosocial risk mitigation, conflict resolution, and crisis response - tailored exactly to what you need.

As a keynote speaker, MC and host, I've presented at major events including ANZMH and Australia's National Loneliness conferences, with features on ABC Radio National and Australian Financial Review. I also advise government bodies, organisations, and communities on health and wellbeing initiatives through consulting, committee work, and lived experience expertise.

My philosophy is to create interactive and conversational workshops that bring theory to life. By sharing real experiences and unpacking practical scenarios, I help people develop skills they can use immediately. Blending serious topics with energy, humor and play, I meet each group where they are with what they need.

Based in Australia, working worldwide, I give people confidence and competence to have the conversations that matter.
