My Story & Career.

From a young age I witnessed — but couldn't make sense of — my mother's mental-ill health. I was then present for a dear friend's years of psychological distress which tragically led to her suicide. Motivated by their immense challenges, I left an unfulfilling corporate career behind and now dedicate myself to work I truly love and believe in.

Today, I feel fortunate to work across proactive health, preventative mental-ill health and suicide prevention as a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainer, wellbeing facilitator, keynote speaker, MC, host and lived experience advisor.

In my training approach, I co-create experiential workshops and events that are conversational, practical and interactive. I bring theory to life by sharing my personal experiences and unpacking real-life scenarios, helping participants develop tangible skills they can apply immediately. By blending serious conversations with energy, humor, and playfulness, I meet each group where they are and provide what they need.

My media work includes features in the Australian Financial Review, ABC Radio National, and the Butterfly Foundation podcast. I advise the Australian Government on health initiatives and have supported over 100 Australian schools. My diverse client base includes Olympic and Paralympic athletes, TEDx speakers, therapists, clinicians, university lecturers, school principals, HR leaders and CEOs.

With clients ranging from multinational corporations to local community groups across Australia, USA, UK, EU, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific, my work has global reach. I travel extensively throughout Australia and support clients internationally.
