Summary

I have been involved in the education sector for the last two decades, where I held various teaching and non-teaching positions within the public education system. However, I recently shifted my career focus towards mining and civil construction. My business and management background will help ensure successful project outcomes for Indigenous stakeholders and the broader Australian community. I am eager to work with adults and further develop my leadership and collaboration skills, which have been instrumental in my past roles.
