search my name + “national capital”, “trees”, “parking” or “building code”…

​

Private Sector - Consultant and Manager

From counting money boxes and sorting the mail, through to managing the marketing program and credit regulatory compliance, the banking sector gave me my career start. Some of the lessons I learned in my very first month remain with me today.

I have also managed a small business, been an independent contractor and a partner in a Big 4 consulting firm.

​

I have been Chair, Treasurer and Director of many community organisations - from national bodies focussed on the environment, through to significant arts organisations. I am a graduate member of Australian Institute of Company Directors.
