I am a highly experienced social impact advisor and academic, with over 20 years of experience working across the nonprofit, government, and academic sectors. I support organisations to navigate complexity, align mission with measurable outcomes, and embed impactful governance practices.

I deliver strategy, research and evaluation advisory services that are relationship-driven and evidence-informed, tailoring my approach to suit the unique needs of each organisation.

I have led and contributed to a diverse portfolio of high-impact projects across Australia’s social impact landscape, including:

• Working with Federal government to elevate children's voices into the national Early Years Strategy.

  
  

• Developing and coordinating innovative evaluation frameworks for systems change organisations.

  
  

• Coordinating national surveys to map social enterprise activities.

  
  

• Evaluating impact investment models for social and affordable housing.

  
  

• Reviewing systems-level coordination for homelessness services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  
  

• Developing new approaches to measuring governance effectiveness in social enterprises

  
  

• Leading a review of social impact evaluations that focus on the power of storytelling.

  
  

• Leading a review of social innovation practices that address health inequities.
  
  

I also bring academic depth as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Swinburne University, where I have published extensively in the social enterprise and innovation fields. I supervise practice-based PhD research on topics including governance, philanthropy, and innovation in mission-driven organisations.

I bring energy and insights to developing practical and pragmatic solutions to systemic challenges, and enjoy problem-solving at every stage of the process.
