“Blessed with my husband, sons and grandchildren, my life embodies kindness and consideration for others.  My family and I hosted an Indigenous teenager from a remote Northern Territory community through his secondary schooling, plus gave respite care to numerous foster children during our five years of accreditation. Personally, I enjoy bush tracks and family history research.”

For over two decades I have defined and communicated tailored messages, in an effective way to a designated audience. In 1999 I launched Eventive, providing freelance communications and event management services to an eclectic range of clientele.

Prior, I was employed by a corporate communications consultancy and before that, within the corporate human resources department of a multinational organisation. I have always collaborated in teams, bringing the best out of others. In addition to a Bachelor of Arts (Recreation Management) and a Graduate Diploma of Management (Training & Development), I have embraced short courses in writing, celebrancy and foster care.
