"To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart."

I have spanned a multitude of roles over my working life. Each of them honing a different skills set and bringing a diversity to my knowledge and skill base. 

​

From the bizarre, being a shoe model, to the cool, as a games tester and the more mundane as a claims administrator. From Alexander Forbes and EA Games to the NPA and a whole bunch in between. 

​

I have worked across industries too, from Technology, Retail, Corporate, Government and small businesses. From Finance to Estate Agents and now in Learning Technology. 

​

Some of my favorite and notable career highlights include:

​

  • As a trainer, I developed several innovative ways to present training to new employees including the “Game of Bills” which was the most fun employees had on what was very technical software training
     

  • I participated in a Disruptor Innovation workshops and competition. My team came third and I was shortlisted as the top 4 out of 54 candidates for the position and was the only woman to make it to the top.
     

  • Not only did I make it onto the Alexander Forbes Junior Board, I was also made Chairperson in the same year.
     

  • One of the quirkiest things I am proud to say I did was source the quote unquote "most thoughtful speakers gift" for Luke McKend then CEO of Google SA. (Check it out)
     

  • I co-created and co-hosted a speaking event called "Tech Talks" bringing some incredible high profile individuals to speak on topics such as blockchain
     

  • I completed my Degree while working full time achieving 16 distinctions overall and graduated Cum Laude in Anthropology 
     

  • I presented an idea to the innovation crucible on Self-Service administration and walked away with the approval  from Exco to build a proof of concept
     

  • Because of my love for organisational culture and my passion to give voice to the engine room staff , I was part of the program team that rolled out and implemented the culture transformation journey at Alexander Forbes. 
     

  • I love learning. if I could be a full time, life time student, that would be heaven for me. Between, that and the other initiates I have been a part of at Alexander Forbes, I was asked to help roll out Degreed to Alexander Forbes and as a result of its success, I was asked to join the Empower team as Head of Customer Success. 
     

  • I have written several thought leadership pieces (from Alternative currencies in the financial services industry to culture of innovation). And have been appeared at LeaderEx as a speaker and in Destiny magazine
