I'm an Internal Communications Lead at LeavePlus, a pioneer in portable entitlement schemes. With a knack for crafting engaging, strategic narratives, I steer internal communications across the organisation, propelling mission-aligned campaigns that spark staff engagement and foster a unified culture. I also champion organisational effectiveness by transforming data into actionable insights, shaping relationships with internal stakeholders, and continually outperforming KPIs.

My journey has been a vibrant mix of digital content strategy, copywriting, and even teaching improv, infusing a unique creativity into my approach to communications. As a former Head of Content at First Page and Content Team Lead at Reform Digital, I developed content strategies for some of the world's largest brands, creating punchy ad copy and high-quality web content. As an improv teacher at The Improv Conspiracy Theatre, I fostered team-building and educational leadership, earning a nomination for Best Teacher by a community of over 1000 alumni. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from RMIT University, graduating with distinction and a place on the Vice-Chancellor’s List for Academic Excellence in 2020. I'm also a lifelong learner, holding multiple certifications in topics such as Emotional Intelligence, Cultural Differences and Similarities, and Freelancing Fundamentals. With a reputation for intelligence, focus, and an unmatched wit, I'm known for my diligent, supportive nature and an unwavering commitment to achieving excellence. Colleagues regard me as a trusted source of knowledge and guidance, and I'm always ready to help others succeed.
