Education: Bachelor of Science (Hons Immunology); Master of Public Health.

What was your first job: Working at my dog’s vet surgery (which involved a bit of admin, washing dogs and some customer support).

What was your best job: CEO of a small Not-For-Profit.

What was your worst job: I'm going to have to keep that one a secret!

In addition to being paid, how else has your career created value in your life?

It's created lifelong friendships, learn new and interesting things... and most importantly, it's allowed me to support other people to reach their potential.

Who was the biggest influence in your career?

Probably my Mother.  She is a very successful businesswoman and has always been a strong female role model for me.

What would your ideal job be?

Something that’s a bit different every day, where I can connect with skilled people in different sectors or industries, and influence outcomes.

What is your happiest memory?

It’s hard to pick just one! I think any of the times I’ve laughed so hard that I cried. Luckily, there has been plenty of those moments!

Who are you a big fan of?

Team members that I’ve worked with in the past – I've been lucky enough to work with some really inspiring people with generous spirits.

Name one of your biggest pet peeves?

Acronyms. I hate when people talk or write in acronyms and just assume that other people will know what they mean.

If you could have one super-human power what would it be? Time travel

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Cryptic crosswords, knitting, and I like to blend my own essential oils to make natural cleaning and beauty products

What’s your guilty pleasure?

I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. Either do something (and don’t make yourself feel bad about it) or don’t.

Do you have any other skills or talents others don’t really know about? 

I’m really good at managing a group order at a restaurant! Which can actually be a very handy skill. 

What is a typical day like for you?

Dog walks (my own and for paying clients), do some errands, work on my house renovation, watch a TV show/do a puzzle/play PlayStation, spend time with my boyfriend or a friend.

Aged 10 - What did you want to be when you grew up? Astronomer

If we went for a Friday arvo drink, what would you order? Gin and tonic

Name a few of your daily habits?

Sit on the floor with my dog for a cuddle, make a smoothie, a few word puzzles to unwind before bed

What publications do you regularly read? I read the news online but that’s about it

What would be your biggest piece of advice to your 20 year old self? Care less!
