Experience

I hold a Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management from Newcastle University, which complements over a decade of HR experience in sectors such as law, aged care, and vocational education. Some of my roles have been working within small to medium enterprises in the past, which has allowed me to gain valuable insights into the critical role that robust systems and processes play in driving organisational success.

HR has always been the cornerstone of what makes me feel connected at work. It is where my passions for people, leadership, and making a difference converge. I love being the bridge that connects individuals to their potential and organisations to their goals, all while fostering environments where everyone feels valued and motivated.

Specialisation & Key Achievements

I specialise in developing and delivering workplace training, driving performance management processes, and enhancing leadership capabilities. I am particularly passionate about fostering company culture initiatives that promote positive, productive work environments where employees are empowered to excel.

One of my key achievements at Skildare that I am proud of, is working alongside my clients and their leadership teams to build higher team morale and enhancing communication to lead more cohesive and collaborative teams.

Beyond HR

As a born and bred Novocastrian, I’m all about embracing the best of what Newcastle has to offer. I share my life with my husband and our three wonderful girls, who keep us on our toes with their busy schedules filled with dancing and sports. Despite our ‘organised chaos’ lifestyle, we make sure to carve out quality downtime together—whether it’s unwinding at the beach, diving into a good book, or getting competitive during our family game nights.
