With over 20 years of leadership experience, I am a seasoned global communications and advocacy strategist committed to catalysing transformative change in global health, gender equality and international development. As a natural storyteller and exceptional communicator, I specialise in crafting compelling narratives, designing effective communications strategies, and mobilising stakeholders to drive policy change and enhance public understanding. Throughout my career, I have spearheaded thought-leadership initiatives, led impactful advocacy campaigns, and orchestrated global communications efforts, establishing organisations as influential voices in their respective sectors. Proficient in forging strategic partnerships and facilitating meaningful dialogues, I am dedicated to inspiring collaborative action for positive change. Fuelled by a deep passion for empowerment and equity in all its forms, I am unwavering in my commitment to making a lasting impact. 

My colleagues, direct reports, and senior leadership regard me as the glue that holds the team together - advising, collaborating, motivating, influencing, and advocating to drive team deliverables. My natural optimism injects energy and enthusiasm into any work situation and has always helped me to positively shape organisational culture while inspiring a can-do attitude. I am deeply passionate about the upliftment of communities and strive to cultivate conditions that bring about transformative change in economies. 

A passionate advocate for gender equality and global health, I excel at fostering impactful dialogues, moderating complex discussions, facilitating engaging events and delivering interactive training programs. I have moderated numerous local and global webinars and in person events, including high profile events such as the World Health Organization webinars and International Finance Corporation training. I believe that the years of experience gained in marketing and communications will enable me to continue making a meaningful contribution within the global development sector.
