About me
I’m a connector and communicator.
I’ve built a project-based career helping organisations, individuals and communities connect, communicate and change for good:
-
Stronger relationships and reputations
-
New brands, technology, processes and structures
-
New skills, knowledge and opportunities
-
Stronger commercial, environmental and social outcomes.
​
Wide industry experience
​​
With more than 20 years’ communications, marketing, change management and engagement experience across many industry sectors and organisations, and degrees in economics and law, I understand how different businesses and organisations work. I’ll get to know yours quickly.
Listening and co-design
​
I’m a good listener and I believe in co-design. So that’s where I’ll start – by listening and involving you and your team to design strategic, pragmatic solutions that work.
​
As an experienced facilitator, an adult education tutor and a published writer-editor, I’ll help you identify and focus on what matters.
​​
​
Fast turn-around
​​
Then, as an experienced consultant used to working in complex, fast-changing environments, I’ll turn your project round quickly.
Giving back’s important to me
​
I’m a proud mentor to two awesome young women, through First Foundation and Auckland University’s Young Sustainability Leaders programme. I help Bike Auckland run workshops, develop strategy and spread the biking word.
​​Outside work I’m happiest on my bike, in the garden or the bush, with my nose in a good book, or enjoying the company of my husband Tony, friends and Momo the cat.
​
​I'm based in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand and work with clients around the country and in Australia. This being the 2020s I'm a well-seasoned 'remote worker' and you're only ever a Zoom call away!
