I have a background in media, politics, senior management, business and the not-for-profit sector, with a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology).

Since 2000, I have been a senior consultant with Glide Strategic, working with small to medium sized businesses and not-for-profit organisations on sustainable business development, strategic planning, stakeholder consultation and communications, marketing strategy, industry research and analysis, and media relations.

A journalist and lobbyist, I have written for magazines, newspapers, radio and other print media, provided copywriting for websites, newsletters, annual reports, magazines, print ads, direct mail and fundraising material, and planned websites and developed comprehensive functional specification documents.
