TIMELINE

Behind the skills and experience, I’m someone who thrives on genuine connection, resilience, and honest communication. My career has been shaped by a wide range of life experiences — from building my own companies to working in some of the most challenging environments in Australia, and from overcoming personal setbacks to celebrating hard-earned wins.

I’ve gone from fat to fit, I’ve helped and been helped, and I’ve learned when to listen and when to speak up. These experiences have given me perspective, humility, and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I believe in straightforward feedback delivered with respect, and I’m not afraid to make the calls that protect a project’s vision and quality.

At this stage in my life, I know who I am and what I bring. That self-awareness makes me a calmer, more reliable, and more effective collaborator — able to keep a steady head when projects get intense, and to spot opportunities where others see obstacles. In roles that demand both creative sensitivity and practical problem-solving, these personal qualities aren’t just nice to have — they’re critical to delivering results while keeping a team motivated and aligned.
