This accomplished media and communications professional brings over two decades of experience delivering high-impact strategies across government, not-for-profit, and consultancy sectors. With a background in journalism and editorial leadership, they are known for crafting compelling narratives, managing complex media environments, and building trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

Currently leading communications for a major state disaster recovery initiative, this individual oversees media strategy, stakeholder engagement, and executive briefings—ensuring clear, timely, and effective messaging during high-stakes operations. Their previous consultancy role saw them advising clients across infrastructure, property, and resources, delivering integrated campaigns that spanned media relations, digital content, community engagement, and event coordination.

In the health sector, they led media and public relations for a national aeromedical service, significantly enhancing brand visibility and public goodwill through proactive storytelling and social media strategy. Their leadership extended to a peak aquatic rescue organisation, where they served as Acting General Manager, overseeing media, marketing, partnerships, and fundraising. During this time, they also managed crisis communications during severe weather events and operational incidents.

A standout moment in their career was leading the Queensland Government’s media presence during the Commonwealth Games, where they coordinated high-profile media events and promoted the legacy of a $320 million infrastructure program. Earlier roles in local and state government, as well as editorial positions in community newspapers, have further sharpened their ability to communicate with clarity, purpose, and impact.

Holding a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Queensland, this candidate is a strategic thinker, a skilled communicator, and a trusted advisor—bringing energy, insight, and professionalism to every project.
