Experience

I joined Skildare in December 2013, after graduating from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Business and a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Human Resources.

My HR career has been shaped at Skildare, where I’ve gained hands-on experience working with clients across a diverse range of industries including manufacturing, road transport, publishing, health, education, and charity organisations.

Specialisation & Key Achievements

I have a particular passion for the compliance and legislative aspects of HR, with a focus on developing employment contracts, and Award and legislation interpretation.

I have worked with clients across a large variety of Awards. The Awards that I am particularly experienced with include the Clerks – Private Sector Award, the Health Professionals and Support Services Award, and the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award.

My task of choice would be a compliance review and/or a BOOT (Better off Overall Test) – to ensure that our clients’ remuneration structures align with Award requirements and remain compliant.

My strengths lie in my research skills, attention to detail and ability to keep on top of legislative changes. I take pride in translating complex regulations into clear, actionable insights for both our team and our clients.

Beyond HR

When I am not in the office, I am probably at a playground or making dinosaur worlds with my son, or joining my husband on landscape photography adventures (he takes the amazing photos; I’m more of supportive sidekick).

My idea of a perfect day? A leisurely coffee by the water, followed by a massage, and finished off with a glass of red and a cheese platter with family and friends.
