Summary

I'm a strategic, fast-paced Relationships Manager, with a passion for building connections. Currently leading B2B business development and industry engagement across the southeast coast with AusIMM, I work closely with key players in the resources sector, developing partnerships that last and conversations that matter.

I built an extensive career in the music industry—a space that still fuels my creativity and drive. When COVID shifted the landscape, I pivoted to corporate partnerships, excelling in stakeholder engagement, strategic thinking, and business development.

Now, I'm more than ready to bring that depth of expertise back to music and the entertainment industry. The opportunity to join the Mushroom Group feels like the perfect intersection of my professional journey and my lifelong passion.
