Summary

Purpose-driven organisational design and change consultant with a background in recruitment and workforce development, currently working at the intersection of strategy, structure, and culture. I bring hands-on experience supporting public and community sector clients to assess organisational effectiveness, uplift capability, and design practical, human-centred interventions that improve how work gets done.

With a Prosci certification and a strong foundation in the ADKAR model, I have contributed to the development of capability frameworks, employee experience surveys, and transformation toolkits. I’m now looking to deepen my impact by joining a collaborative consulting team focused on supporting public purpose organisations through transformational change.

Curious by nature and committed to continuous learning, I enjoy translating complexity into clarity, building trusted relationships, and helping people navigate and embrace change.
