Here’s a taste of some of my work – you’ll find more information on the profile page

ACC – Since March 2017, I have been contracted to the role of Strategic Advisor in the Communications & Engagement team. During this time I have been involved in a number of initiatives to lift the performance and capability of a large communications and engagement team and played a pivotal role in the design of an innovative external engagement team to represent a proactive, responsive and transparent organisation. The design of the team is based on an agency model and focused on an agile and integrated approach to creating content across ACC’s digital channels and traditional media, and has achieved demonstrated results. I am a member of the leadership team leading the development and roll out of a public engagement strategy, to increase awareness and understanding of ACC, support access and equity, increase trust and impact positively on health outcomes.
