Public Policy, Community Engagement & Social Impact

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

About

I am a strategy and partnerships professional with experience across public policy, international engagement, and values-led reform. My background includes advisory roles within the Victorian Government, where I worked on complex policy initiatives spanning international engagement, environmental policy, and First Peoples self-determination. Across these roles, I built strong relationships with government, universities, community organisations, and external stakeholders, and developed a reputation for delivering clear, thoughtful work in high-responsibility environments. I am particularly interested in roles that sit at the intersection of strategy, collaboration, and long-term impact. I enjoy translating complex priorities into practical outcomes and working with others to deliver meaningful change.
