'every person that I encounter, is my teacher'.

My  background.

Having grown up in regional Western Australia as the descendant of both Aborginal (Wardandi-Noongar) people, convicts and settler immigrants, my family knows all too well the history of this land and the what genuine reconciliation is – respect, value and compromise.

Whilst we now live on Ngarluma country I am still connected to the South West as Member of both the Derbarl Yerrigan Aboriginal Health Service and the South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council.

 My experience.

I have considerable experience in healthcare management, strategy development, public policy and program evaluation.

I have held executive positions within corporate, government and NFP healthcare organisations in Western Australia, Queensland and the ACT in community development, primary care, drug and alcohol, Indigenous  and private health services.

Current Focus

Having worked in all facets of the health system, I am now tackling the social determinants of health in the Regional Services Reform Unit.

Healthcare remains a key passion and I have founded a health startup company called Medvent Pty Ltd to find new and innovative ways to empower people take control of their own health care. For more information on Medvent click here

Qualifications.

I hold a Bachelor of Business, majoring in HRM, a Master of Applied Management (Health) and a Master of Business Administration. I am also Fellow of the Australasian College of Health Service Management.

Interests.

Living and working in Regional Australia is a privilege and I enjoy nothing more then camping with my family on the lands of the Banjima, Ngarluma and Yinjibarndi peoples.
