In 2022, my life changed dramatically when I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND). What began as a deeply confronting diagnosis soon became a turning point, a call to action. Refusing to be defined by limitation, I channelled my energy into advocacy, transforming my personal journey into a platform for awareness, inclusion, and change.
As an Ambassador for MND Australia, I am committed to amplifying the voices of those affected, fostering compassion, and driving meaningful progress in how society understands and responds to this devastating disease.
My diverse experience across the private, public, and non-profit sectors, with expertise in leadership, behavioural change, governance, and stakeholder engagement at the senior and Board level. I have a distinguished 35-year career in the Royal Australian Air Force which instilled me with a profound sense of service, discipline, and resilience. Qualities that continue to shape my approach to advocacy and public engagement. Today, I blend lived experience with strategic insight, working to influence policy, research, and community understanding around MND.
