My Story

"I love developing strategies for growth, impact and continuously improving systems, processes and myself."
In 2020 with all the changes I switched my focus from big corporates to start-ups and entrepreneurs to help them align their passion to their purpose and scale their business for fruitful results.
I had developed a passion for technology in business for its ability to impact more people efficiently and effectively. From launching the Australia Swims virtual event reaching 4.5M Australians and motivating 41% to swim more often, to the launch of the iSwim app which reached the #1 Sports App on the apple store and be crowned the ANZ Sport Technology Award for social media and fan engagement, I have seen how technology can deliver big results.
I feel very fortunate that I have always loved what I do. From working major events, sports industry and alongside inspiring athletes telling their story.
Content marketing has always been something I did, but this side of interviewing and documenting an event or athlete journey would have to be one of my favourite aspects.
I love all forms of storytelling from photography, videography to writing.
Experience

A snapshot of some of the diverse brands I have developed, managed, worked for, managed sponsorships or client projects for in the luxury brands, travel brands, FMCG brands, sporting brands, event brands and health & wellness brands.
Instagram is my favourite social platform since I love photography. It's a mix of family, design, events and when we can, travel!
