Summary

With over 18 years of experience in the Defence domain, I have developed a clear understanding of teamwork, leadership, and achieving specific objectives. After separating from full-time Navy service in 2021, I have focused on working in the Department of Defence's Land Domain, managing acquisition projects and supporting sustainment fleets for the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group.


I am now seeking new opportunities to continue delivering crucial capabilities to the men and women of the Defence Force, as it is a passion of mine. I am eager to embrace new challenges, utilise my experience, and support my team in achieving results for our customers.
