Summary

My time over the past five years has mostly been dedicated to mothering my two young children. The experience of becoming a mother has changed the trajectory of my life which is evident by the wide range of experience demonstrated here. I am in a position where I would like to leverage my evolving skills to meaningful work in my community; particularly in support of women, children and families.

I offer strong communication, organisational and interpersonal skills. I work hard to maintain objectivity in my work, whilst applying good judgement and personal insight when necessary.
