Connecting people, strategy and opportunity to make things happen.
My work sits at the intersection of business development, marketing and operations where I bring clarity to growth challenges through strong market insight, clear storytelling and practical strategy.
For fifteen yeers, I’ve worked across professional services and global brands, building pipelines, opening new markets and helping marketing become a true sales engine. Above all, I care about people, supporting teams to make confident decisions and create sustainable, long-term growth.
Career
My friends and family used to think I had a cool job. I was working my way up at Burberry in London when I decided to turn my BD and marketing skills to barristers’ chambers. In my mind, I was trading one luxury services for another, albiet without a staff discount in chambers.
I was willingly imported to Australia by Queensland’s largest barristers’ chambers in 2018. Accustomising myself with the “beautiful one day, perfect the next” QLD climate, I have since partnered with a law firm, as well as with a cyber security and eDiscovery consultancy, sports platforms and more.
Over my career, I have learnt that I enjoy and grow from working with professionals from across diverse sectors. Working as a consultant means I can share my cross-industry experience with those who stand to benefit and continue to collect inspiration from those I meet.

What I don’t get paid to do
My lifestyle centres around being a competitive triathlete – if one aims to be a ‘competer’ rather than a ‘completer’, triathlon is not a hobby. I raced for Great Britain at an age group level for ten years. Since I gained my Australian citizenship in 2025, my next goal is to qualify to race in ‘green & gold’.
Once I sit down, there is nothing I love more than reading books with copious amounts of chocolate.
